[Cara Canellas]

Alsoit does not give you the right to study long-term or to work in these countries. If you plan to stay in a European country requiring ETIAS for a longer period, you will most likely need a long-term visa.

If you want to come to study in a European country requiring ETIAS for more than 90 days, you will need a student visa. For shorter study programmes, you can apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation. Please contact the consulate of the country you intend to study in for further details.

No, if you wish to work in one of the European countries requiring ETIAS you will need to apply for a work visa. However, if you are travelling only to attend a business conference or a meeting, you can apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation. Please contact the consulate of the country you intend to work in for further details.

Yes. Unless you fall under one of the exceptions, you are required to have a valid ETIAS travel authorisation to enter any of the European countries requiring ETIAS. Travellers without such authorisation will be refused entry at the border.

Having a valid ETIAS travel authorisation does not automatically grant you the right to enter the territory of the European countries requiring ETIAS. All travellers arriving at the border are still subject to border checks and border guards will refuse entry to those who do not meet the entry conditions.

No. Your ETIAS travel authorisation is valid for three years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. You can leave and return as many times as you wish, as long as you respect the overall limit of your authorised stay.

You can apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation yourself by filling in and submitting an application, or you can authorise somebody else to do this for you, e.g. a friend, a family member or a commercial intermediary such as a travel agency. You will need to have a valid travel document and pay a EUR 7 application fee.

We strongly advise you to obtain the ETIAS travel authorisation before you buy your tickets and book your hotels. Most applications will be processed within minutes and at the latest within 96 hours. However, some applicants may be asked to provide additional information or documentation or to participate in an interview with national authorities, which may take up to additional 30 days.

You need a travel document that is recognised by the European countries requiring ETIAS. Please check here or here to find out if your travel document is recognised by the countries you intend to travel to.

Your travel document should be valid for more than three months after the intended date of departure from the territory of the European countries requiring ETIAS and should not be older than 10 years. This requirement does not apply to family members of EU citizens or those of non-EU nationals who have the right to move freely throughout the European Union.

While it is possible to apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation using a travel document which is valid for less than three months from the date you submit the application, you should be aware that you will be refused entry at the border, unless you have very good reasons to be accepted (for example humanitarian grounds).

Border authorities may exceptionally allow you to enter a country that does not recognise your travel document in a justified case of emergency, humanitarian grounds, national interest or because of important obligations.

If you are unsure whether your travel document entitles you to cross the orders of any of the European countries requiring ETIAS (and to apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation), you can check the lists the European Commission has published here and here.

Additionally, the travellers who declare that they have a family member who is a citizen of a European country requiring ETIAS, or is a third-country national enjoying the right to move freely throughout the EU in accordance with EU law, will be asked to provide information about the following:

If someone is submitting the application on your behalf,that person will have to provide their surname, first name(s), the name and contact details of the organisation or firm (if applicable), as well as information on their relationship to you and a confirmation that this person and you have signed the declaration of representation.

When you apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation, you are required to indicate the first country you intend to stay in. This information is used to process your application. However, once you have your travel authorisation in hand, you can change your plans and travel to any of these 30 European countries.

Filling out the application is quick and easy. Most applicants will receive their ETIAS travel authorisation within minutes, but in some cases the process may take up to 30 days. This is why you should apply well in advance of your travel to avoid complications.

Yes, you will receive an email once your application is processed. If you do not see such an email, please check the junk folder of the email address you provided on your application form - some filters may block automated emails.

In some cases, processing of ETIAS applications may take longer. Within 96 hours you will receive a reply whether your ETIAS travel authorisation has been granted, refused or if you are required to provide additional information or documentation. In the latter case, you will have additional 10 days to provide it.

If it is not sufficient, you will receive an invitation for an interview which will take place either in the Consulate closest to your place of residence or online. You will agree on the details directly with the relevant Consulate. The decision on your application will be made within 48 hours after the interview has taken place.

No. The ETIAS travel authorisation is issued only to one person and is linked to their travel document. Other persons, including family members, are required to have their own ETIAS travel authorisations.

Yes. The system allows you to start an application and come back to complete it later. Your draft application will be stored for 48 hours. After that it will be deleted automatically, and you will have to start a new application.

Yes. It is possible for another person (e.g. a friend, a family member, etc.) or a commercial intermediary (e.g. a travel agency) to apply on your behalf, if you have authorised them to do so. You will both need to sign a declaration of representation.

This is the only official website of the European Union that allows you to submit applications for ETIAS travel authorisations directly, in accordance with the strictest data protection standards. Any other website that provides intermediary services will collect your data and use the official ETIAS website to file the application on your behalf. These websites may also require you to pay additional fees. Before you decide to use the services of intermediary websites, make sure you verify the quality of their services, additional charges and how they protect your data.

Applying for ETIAS travel authorisation directly costs EUR 7. Any additional fee charged on top of that goes to the intermediary services provider. We advise you to be careful whom you make payments to or share your personal data with.

Make sure that you personally have access to the email account included in your application. It will be used for all communication related to your application and travel authorisation. As soon as your application has been filed, you will receive an email confirming it has been submitted together with your unique application number.

As you are responsible for the authenticity and correctness of the information you include in your application, be careful when filling it out: mistakes can lead to refusal, revocation or annulment of your ETIAS travel authorisation. You may also be refused entry at the border. Please review your application form carefully and correct any mistakes before submitting it.

The fastest and most convenient way for you is to apply for a new ETIAS travel authorisation - using the data from your old application and correcting the mistake is the easiest option. You should also use this method if you need to make substantial changes to the data in your application, e.g. to change the email address you used, if you listed the wrong nationality, if your passport number or your name has changed.

An ETIAS travel authorisation is linked to the travel document. If you changed your travel document to reflect the change in your name, surname, gender or nationality, you will need to apply for a new ETIAS travel authorisation.

You should report the loss/theft of your passport to the local police. Your ETIAS travel authorisation will be cancelled. You should also contact the Consulate of your country and request them to issue you with a new travel document (such as passport, an emergency travel document or a laissez -passer).

Not having access to your email does not affect your ETIAS travel authorisation and you can still travel to the EU. However, it means that you will not be able to check its validity or receive any notifications related to possible revocation or annulment.

Even if you need to travel urgently, you still have to have a valid ETIAS travel authorisation. While it is always recommended to apply well in advance, most applications are processed within minutes, so it is likely that last-minute applications are processed in time.

Refugees, stateless persons or persons who do not hold the nationality of any country do not need an ETIAS travel authorisation if they reside in and hold a travel document issued by any of the European countries requiring ETIAS.

However, recognised refugees and stateless persons who reside on the territory of any of these visa-exempt countries and Ireland, and who are in possession of a travel document issued by that country, may need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation.

Make sure you check the travel requirements for every country you intend to visit as different European countries have different rules: you may need an ETIAS travel authorisation for some of the countries, while you may need a visa for others.
