IMPORTANT TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION & ENTRY SYSTEM UPDATES FOR EUROPE AND THE UK

As global travel security systems evolve, it’s important to be aware of new entry requirements that affect U.S. travelers visiting Europe and the United Kingdom. Sea & Sun Travel wants you to be fully prepared so your journey flows seamlessly from start to finish.

1. Entry/Exit System (EES)

Effective October 12, 2025

The European Union’s Entry/Exit System (EES) is now in effect across all 29 Schengen Area countries. This new digital border control system records the entry and exit of non-EU travelers visiting Europe for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period).

What It Means for Travelers:

  • Upon arrival, travelers will have biometric data (fingerprints and facial image) captured and stored in the EES system.

  • Passport stamps will gradually be phased out and replaced by electronic records.

  • The process makes border crossings faster, more secure, and more efficient across participating countries.

Schengen Area Countries Include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

2. ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System)

Expected to Begin in Late 2026

In addition to EES, travelers from visa-exempt countries (including the U.S.) will soon be required to apply for ETIAS authorization before entering most European countries.

Key Details:

  • What Is ETIAS? A mandatory electronic travel authorization, not a visa. It enhances security by pre-screening travelers before arrival.

  • Who Needs It? Travelers aged 18–70 from visa-exempt countries (such as the U.S., Canada, and Australia). Travelers under 18 or over 70 must still apply but are exempt from the fee.

  • Cost: €20 (approximately $23.50 USD).

  • Validity: Three years, or until your passport expires — whichever comes first.

  • Application: Apply online or via the official ETIAS mobile app. Most approvals are processed within minutes, but allow up to 30 days before travel.

  • Stay Duration: Up to 90 days in any 180-day period within the Schengen Area.

Official ETIAS Website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias_en

We strongly recommend applying for ETIAS well in advance of travel to prevent any disruptions.

3. United Kingdom – Electronic Travel Authorisation (UK ETA)

Now Rolling Out Through 2025–2026

If your journey connects through or includes time in the United Kingdom, you may need to obtain a UK ETA (Electronic Travel Authorisation).

What You Need to Know:

  • Layovers:

    • If you remain airside during a layover at London Heathrow, Gatwick, or another UK airport, you do not need a UK ETA.

    • If you plan to exit the airport, stay overnight, or explore London during a layover, a UK ETA is required.

  • Eligibility: U.S. citizens and travelers from visa-exempt countries must apply for ETA approval prior to arrival.

  • Application: Apply online via the official UK ETA website or mobile app.

  • Cost: £10 (approximately $12.50 USD).

  • Validity: Two years, or until your passport expires (whichever comes first).

Official UK ETA Website: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/apply-for-an-electronic-travel-authorisation

In Summary

  • EES – Now live (as of October 12, 2025): Digital entry/exit tracking at European borders.

  • ETIAS – Launching late 2026: Required travel authorization for Schengen Area entry.

  • UK ETA – Rolling out 2025–2026: Required only if you plan to enter the UK (not for airside layovers).

We’ll continue to keep all Sea & Sun Travel clients informed of new travel requirements. If you have questions about EES, ETIAS, or UK ETA procedures, our team is here to guide you every step of the way.
