Beginning mid-2025, the European Union ("EU") will introduce a new requirement for travelers from visa-exempt countries to visit member countries. This will affect 1.2 billion travelers, including U.S. citizens.

Travelers from visa-exempt countries must now complete a European Travel Information and Authorisation System ("ETIAS") application before traveling to any member country. It will be an online application, completed via the ETIAS website (ETIAS - European Union (europa.eu). Travelers will need passports and other travel documents to have validity for at least three (3) months beyond the entry date and not be more than ten (10) years old. Travel documents that do not comply with international standards will be rejected during the application, as will any document not verified by carriers, such as air or rail lines.

With only a 30-day comment period and potential annual costs reaching up to $16.5 billion across nearly 2,500 affected institutions, the proposed regulation is expected to face significant legal challenges if finalized.
