The EU has announced the launch of its long-awaited visa waiver scheme, ETIAS, to debut in May 2023.
ETIAS, which stands for European Travel Information and Authorization System, had previously been slated for a late 2022 debut.EU travelers are exempt, and have freedom of movement around the bloc, allowing them to spend as much time as they want in many countries. EU residents will also be exempt. The application process will be via a"largely automated IT system," with approval granted"within minutes," for an estimated 95% of applicants, according to a new memo issued by the EU. The maximum time needed for approval could be up to a month in"very exceptional cases." Anyone whose application is denied will have the right to appeal.
