The New Rules for U.S. Citizens Visiting Europe, include the introduction of the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) and the Entry/Exit System (EES).
ETIAS will require most Non-European Travelers to Complete an Online Application before Entry into the Schengen Area, even for Connecting International Flights.
The EES will Document Biometric Data of Non-EU Citizens every time they Cross External Borders.
As of mid-2025, ETIAS will be Mandatory for Citizens from over 60 Visa-Exempt Countries, including the U.S., Traveling to 30 European Nations.
The ETIAS Travel Authorization will be Valid for Three years or until the Passport Expires, whichever comes first.
The EES will begin on October 12th, 2025, and will Modernize Border Management by Increasing the Efficiency and Quality of Processes at the Border. This system will be similar to the One used by the U.S. for its Foreign Visitors.
Travelers should apply for ETIAS before their Trip to ensure they Meet the New Entry Requirements Starting in 2025.
The Application Process is expected to be Quick, with most Applications processed within minutes. If an Application takes longer, Decisions will be sent within Four days, or up to 14 days, if additional Documentation is Requested.
