Traveling to Europe in 2025? Here’s What You Need to Know

Starting in May 2025, U.S. travelers heading to most European countries will need to obtain the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) approval—an electronic authorization required for entry. This additional step is a significant change for American visitors, who historically only needed a valid passport to explore Europe. Here’s a summary of what ETIAS entails, based on reporting by Forbes.

What Is ETIAS?

ETIAS is a pre-travel authorization system designed to enhance border security and streamline entry into Europe. Approved in 2016, the program has faced delays due to logistical challenges and the COVID-19 pandemic but will finally go into effect in May 2025. It will require travelers from visa-exempt countries to complete a security screening before arrival.

Key Points About ETIAS

• Who Needs It?
  ETIAS applies to travelers from 59 visa-exempt countries, including the United States and Canada, visiting for 90 days or less. Travelers under 18 or over 70 are exempt from the €7 (about $7.50) fee but must still apply for authorization.

• Countries That Require ETIAS:
  ETIAS will be required for entry into 30 European countries, including France, Germany, Spain, and Italy, as well as Nordic and Eastern European destinations.

• Application Process:
  The ETIAS application will be completed online and requires a valid passport, basic travel details, and payment of the €7 fee. Processing times may vary, so it’s recommended to apply in advance of your travel dates to avoid delays.

• Validity:
  Once approved, ETIAS is valid for three years or until your passport expires, allowing multiple short-term visits during this period.

Planning to visit Paris, Rome, or Berlin in 2025? Adding ETIAS to your travel checklist is now as essential as booking flights and packing your passport.
