List of countries eligible for ETIAS visa-free travel in Europe
Travelers from many countries will soon be able to visit the Schengen area without a visa, thanks to ETIAS authorization. This new security system, introduced by the European Union, facilitates stays of less than 90 days, while tightening entry controls.
Who can apply for ETIAS authorization?
ETIAS is exclusively for citizens of certain third countries exempt from Schengen visa requirements. Simply being resident in an eligible country is not enough: only nationality counts.
