Starting from mid-2024, once the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) is launched, travellers from more than 60 countries who can travel to the Schengen Area without the need to obtain a visa will be required to apply for the document.

However, the European Union highlights that a successful application alone will not guarantee entry into the EU countries requiring ETIAS, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

Once ETIAS becomes fully operational, travellers will have to meet visa-free conditions in order to be allowed to cross the external borders of the EU.
