Non-EU nationals travelling to Europe for a short stay note:
- Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering third-country travellers, both short-stay visa holders and visa-exempt travellers, every time they cross an EU external border. The EES will enter into force in the second half of 2024.
- European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will apply to third-country nationals who are visa-exempt. They will need to obtain a travel authorisation before travelling via an online application form. The ETIAS will enter into force in mid-2025.
