As a South African, who has to pay a ton of money, fill out a ton of forms AND do an in-person interview when wanting to travel to Europe, this new online, cheap registration is nothing. Believe me, its not a big deal!
I did know that people from South Africa sofer more scrutiny!
You guys don't even have much of an electric grid there lol
@johnnysakura stop speaking nonsense of what you don't know
@OAlexable getting a little salty there mate lol 😆 😂 🤣
You from South Africa and love load shedding too?? 😅😅😅
You got the app for the daily 12 hours without electricity updates 😅😅😅
@@jonathansakurasalty? they left one sentence lol are you okay? 😆
No surprise
The same thing was obligatory for EVERYONE travelling to the US in the last 20+ years...
electronic registration, which costs 14$
Now Europe is asking the same thing
Used to be 14. Recently raised to USD 21. I guess inflation is also affecting ESTA.
ESTA ( the US version of this) isn't quite 20 years old yet (introduced 2009/10) but the US visa-waiver program is much older. Before ESTA was introduced it was something you had to do on the plane coming, fill in one of those infamous green forms asking you whether you are a war criminal or a drug trader :)
Sounds like a new revenue scam. The fact that you said the US has been doing it first confirms it.
people going on these trips with credit card debt
I love when American are given a taste of their own medicine. They always treat people from.other country a way, but don't expect to be treated the same lol. Great
The US can command such a fee because it is the best country in the world. Europe on the other hand is far from it lol.
1. It's not a visa. It's a pre-registration, with almost instant approval online.
2. Europeans have had to do this to enter the US, for years now.
Except you might have to wait 30 days. Many will probably. So it’s really 30 days advance permission.
@@damnjustassignmeone What makes you think that? For the fast majority of Americans the approval will be instant. Unless you have some criminal convictions.....
@@Hupjeflupjeor if you're name gets confused with a criminal
I assume instante approval if the person qualifies to travel to Europe.
Europeans have to do the exact same thing when traveling to visit America. It’s not a big deal.
Except we been protecting them post ww2; without our military budget and might, you could imagine how well their Euro zone and their currency might be worth today. Their economic stability ride on back of US military.
Funny, South and Central Americans and Mexicans just come over and stay. And if we want to check them first we are called racists.
@@Steven-xf8mzThat's nice but it has nothing to do with territory security specific to each area - History doesn't change that: 9-11 happened on US soil and yet travel was globally affected. It's useless to apply an outdated hegemonic mindset. If the American government thinks it's owned something they can put tariffs and travel restrictions in place but in a global economy, only a few don't realize it's benefitting no one, except one's misplaced sense of pride.
That's correct, there's always been a bigger burden (including financial) for non-nationals, and even US lawful permanent residents to enter the US than for US travelers to go to abroad.
30 days? No. Anyhow, we should respond in kind. Europeans want 30 day’s advance permission? Then they can wait 30 days before entering the U.S.
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Janet
I stumbled upon one of her clients testimonies and decided to try her out...I'm Expecting my third cashout in 2days
Mrs Janet is indeed a forex mentor. With my first investment of $1,200 I got a ROI of $12,000 in two weeks
My ex was from Spain and had to do the same thing when he traveled to the USA with me. It is a very fast process and I've we never had an issue with applying or renewing it. It is a common practice among many countries.
Convenient now guess where it leads tomorrow. No one ever thinks about the bigger picture.
@@ebros2112 man why are you so negative? So much assumptions in your comment. I don't know what part of my comment set you on fire, but it's not that serious. Believe it or not there are many people that don't want to live in the USA. In my comment I said "when he traveled to the USA" I never said we lived in Texas. We both live abroad. Where did you the "libtard" comment come from? How can you tell a person's political choice by my post? 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
@@lonalxaia trust me I get the bigger picture. I only mentioned the process of it. As a traveler, the Government finds a way to control us. They back us in a corner if we want to move about different borders. It's unfortunate! I've always said one day I will live off the grid and live off the land.
@@susanlolinex380watch the government begin to crackdown on living off the grid
They’re hell bent on controlling every damn aspect of everyone’s life
This is nothing new...It's been like this for years for Europeans going to the US!!
yes it has. Just that it's 30 day maximum and usually gets approved fast. It's the same that will be the case for Americans now.
This is something I’ve had to do when visiting family in New Zealand for years. Easy to do and not a big deal.
It's a massive PITA depending on how fast the country can process and clear the VISAs. And of course it's going to cost 50-100 dollars. Just another way to nickel and dime the consumer.
@CrankyGrandma guess where "NO BIG DEAL" is getting the world. The last 3 years went over your head.
What questions does the application ask? Sorry if it’s a stupid question.
@@DianaLikesToParty
From the ETIAS website
Surname (family name), first name(s), surname at birth, usual name(s); date of birth, place of birth, country of birth, sex, current nationality, first names of the parents of the applicant; home address;

If applicable, information on any other nationalities or citizenships;
Address of permanent residence;
Email address and telephone number;

Education and / or current occupation information;
ETIAS background and eligibility questions. Such questions will pertain to any medical conditions or other infectious or contagious parasitic diseases; criminal history involving serious damage to property, to another person or entity; history of distributing illegal drugs; previous travel to war-zone countries as well as any previous immigration or travel history which resulted in the applicant being deported or rejected entry into an EU member country;

For family members to EU citizens/third country nationals benefitting from free movement without residence cards: their status as family member; the identity details of the family member with whom the applicant has ties; their family ties.
@@DianaLikesToPartyif it’s similar to NZ’s, all they ask is why you’ll be in-country (vacation work, etc), for how long, address(es) you’ll be staying at, departure date, those kind of things. It doesn’t take long, doesn’t cost much, and truly is not a big deal. Only thing to remember is do this several days in advance so the country has time to process and respond to you. Hope this helps. 😊
So????? The USA has has the same policy in place for some time now
From the official website: "ETIAS should be operational from 2024." 'Should' being the key word. It does confirm airlines will need that authorization to be able to book tickets, but there's also a potential grace period. Sounds like despite this being in the works for some time, there's a lot of work still to be done to roll this out.
🤔🤔🤨🧐
@@ucapt-it6vf Also from their website
"Processing your ETIAS application
Most applications are processed within minutes.
It is possible however that your application may take longer to process. If so, you will receive a decision within four days. Please note that this period could be extended by up to 14 days if you are requested to provide additional information or documentation, or up to 30 days if you are invited to an interview.

@@thrlfwbbl8038 In the year 2024, a series of geopolitical events have shaken the world balance, resulting in an unexpected warlike conflict. The United States, China and North Korea the beginning of the war.
The United States to enter into conflict, China attacked Taiwan, seeking to weaken their opponents. However, US strategists, aware that the loss of that region would represent a political disaster for their nation, decided to hide the Chinese advances and spread false information, fueling a scenario of supposed military superiority.
Fake news became valuable tools for the United States, which widely used disinformation to stifle the true unfolding of the ongoing war. They covered up their losses and emphasized fictitious victories in order to maintain an image of strength and control.
Meanwhile, discreetly, India decided to ally with China, seeking to expand its international influence and enhance its military strength. This strategic move surprised the world, as India was historically closer to the United States.
Realizing the international situation was becoming unfavorable, Russia decided to help China in this war. The clash between the United States and Russia, the result of tensions arising from the conflict in Ukraine. Russia saw in this war an opportunity to weaken its main adversary, the United States.
With a strengthened alliance and superior military dominance, the Chinese and their allies emerged victorious after years of bloody battles. What was left of the United States became a Chinese colony, with the country having to submit to Chinese dictates in all spheres. The former nation, the symbol of freedom, has been reduced to a foreign colony driven by China's expansionist interests.
So if this is required in 24 and we want to book tickets before it comes online how to does that get worked out? I was planning on booking tickets for next year as soon as award ticket inventory is loaded for my departure window, sometime in September.
@FoCoBuzz Advance approval is not featured to book tickets. Go ahead and do that. Just remember to compete the application when (and if!) it is available. It's already several years late, so don't hold your breath.
In America 🇺🇸 you have a very similar system for travelers from Europe etc. We have to pay a lot more money for it than you so I don’t see any problem 😊
You are always welcome in Europe 🇪🇺
Tourists to the States have needed an ESTA for years.
We have had to do this to travel to America + Canada for years. Also Tanzania where I have to have injections & tablets as well.
Yes I was aware of this new Europe travel rule ETIAS and I thought this will take effect end of 2023. And since Olympic will happen in Europe (Paris) it might as well implement it as well.
They've kept delaying it.
Paris smells like piss. It’s going to be a very shitty Olympics 💩
Most Americans don't know what a visa is. 🤣
They don't know a lot of things outside their delusional bubble...hence why news like this seems jarring. Meanwhile their embassies have imposed even worse regulations on people who want to travel to their country.
most Europeans don't know Freedom or capitalism or grammar. (see above)
I am one of those Americans. When I traveled to Germany in December last year, I did not need a Visa. I thought you only needed a Visa if you are to be working or school in a European Country coming from the USA. I had no idea that European countries citizens needed one when coming to the USA.
@@slowride7164 Yup, which is an absurdity. There have to be equal conditions, either we all need a Visa or we don't.
@@slowride7164 no they don't. It's a visa waiver program, which basically is like a background check. It's not a visa.
This is just filling out a form, paying 7 euros, and then you're good for three years. Not a big deal at all. The media is blowing this way out of proportion just like they did with RealID.
The issue is that you don’t know if you’ll have to wait 30 days. Many surely will.
I’m mean, it’s fine as long as we impose the same burdens on travel. What goes around comes around.
The media is blowing this way out of proportion... or people that can't even travel to the EU and trolling are overreacting?
@@damnjustassignmeone Same uncertainty as when applying for ESTA when traveling to the US, for most people this will be minutes. Here's the quote

I am a boomer and dont own a computer. So what the fuck am I supposed to do.
Finally!! I remember what I endured for the last 30 years traveling to the US.
You have an interesting outlook on life. Instead of trying to eliminate bureaucracy, you are satisfied with revenge.
@@RH-cv1rg If a fair policy is a revenge, I will gladly wear it. Honestly, I would go further - visas for everyone.
@@PragueImport Okay, you're honest. A bit creepy but honest.
@@RH-cv1rg I am content with being creepy. I will never get back the time I had to spend at US consular offices to get visas to the US. The only upside is that I could see operas at the Met during the good old times.
Well we have to endure our tax money protecting you guys from Russia while crying about how evil America and Americans are 😂
American here who lives abroad-the news outlet is blowing this way out of proportion. Americans have to do this when going to Turkey for example, and my European husband has to do it when coming to the states. They’re valid for years. It’s not a big deal at all.
As europeans we had to do the same thing for the US , so don,t complain please.
Europeans hide behind americas military might so they pay for their free healthcare
Same as ESTA for me when i go to the US
Americans finally having to go under the same they've been asking for years. Reciprocity is always good. Mostly amongst «friends».
It's not just the US that already has something like ETIAS. Canada, Australia and NZ do too. The UK will introduce a similar system soon.
I wouldn’t consider Europeans as allies of the United States.
I’d bet many Europeans still burn Russian gas. With friends like these, who needs enemies?
@@thrlfwbbl8038the countries u mention that u said r applying the Etais apply for Americans where I’m from if ur Canadian British or kiwi u don’t have to go through it all Ben if ur from any country but it only applies to Americans and china and russia but in general my country allows anyone without a frustrating process but it’s only frustrating for Americans not our problem
@@thrlfwbbl8038these countries r applying it for Americans but if ur from anywhere else it isn’t long process
@@thrlfwbbl8038because America isn’t everyone’s best friend
I love how people are losing their minds because they need to apply for a visa, if you can even call it that. 😂
It’s one sided. 30 day’s advance permission. That’s why people aren’t thrilled.
And they don't and can't even afford to travel to the EU... too busy trolling! LOL
Its actually a big change to when the US passport let you move without any restrictions etc.
It's not the time or effort, it's the message that is being sent to the US state department.
@@CHMichael Well, it is extra time. Some people will have to wait 30 days apparently.
Well, everyone else needs a visa to enter the USA. So I think it’s about time Europe now changes to visa entry.
So basically the same thing tons of foreigners have to complete before arriving in the US, the ESTA.
Talks about Europe and then talks about TSA. Great reporting!
Lol
"For a small fee."
well fee for europeans to go to US is 14e for esta, and much more for visa
@@mirela21dthe visa is 185 USD
@@mirela21dIt's 21$.
Sounds like a play for more revenue.
It is only to 'some' travelers the news says...whether you get it in 4mins or 4 weeks depends on `many criteria'
It's just like ESTA...
Europeans have had to fill them for years before coming to the US .
It’s basically the same thing I did when I applied for an eTA for New Zealand 🇳🇿 and Australia 🇦🇺 but I paid much higher then 7 dollars 😅
This happens in a lot of places... I did it for Canada in 2017 and it is used in the USA since 2008 or 9...
It's 7 euros, not dollars & that's just the beginning fee!
At first it’s 7 dollars, then it will become 70 dollars. You know how it works.
Sounds like additional revenue enhancement.
Sounds like law enforcement so you get denied reentery for unpaid train fare evasion fines from your last Europe trip
Maybe for the contract to run the program which most certainly will cost more money than the fee covers
insightful
UK is also launching its own ETA this Nov but I think it’s rolling out the programme country by country until 2025. US citizens probably won’t need one till then.
And some europeans have to pay 160$ + other taxes and go through a visa interview just to visit US
That should have been done long time ago.
I simply bought after arriving to the airport with my old ESTA expired. It was £14 and took 5 minutes. And the “revenue streams” was misleading as the airline wouldn’t get involved in third party (cleaning for example)
Get this done in advance before getting that plane ticket is important knowing in the event you weren't cleared in the system and you had to miss your flight because of an "error", that'll be really messed up and I see that happening .. 😬
I had to do something similar last December when I traveled from the US to New Zealand but technically is was not a Visa.
NZ and Australia both have this for US travelers already, and I think both are more expensive too! It's not difficult to do or a very big ask. But you just know there will be dozens of whiny people who didn't do it ahead of time and are furious about being denied boarding.
@@cbpd89why would u even go there like u want to be racist because those governments there r have fun and good luck with the unsafeness people die daily there I’m moving out
@@cbpd89those countries have it for Americans because America isn’t everyone’s best friend where I’m from I got my for a Europe country the next day
@@ritaa1359 People die in every country daily. That's how being mortal works.
Good. 👍
You can't do this before buying your ticket. They're going to ask you where your first stop is going to be (layover destination if you're catching a connecting flight in Europe).
The question is "the first *country* you visit". They are not interested in your layovers.
Thank u. Great 👍 information
Only troublemakers would complain about pre-registration.
No, people like (the idea) of spontaneous travel. That's gone now because as she mentioned you do this before buying a flight
US, Canada and Australia all have pretty much the same system for years so it’s not a big deal the EU is doing this. It’s just for screening out what they consider potential “trouble makers”.
That would be reasonable if America had been harboring terrorists that travel to Europe and try to destroy the Eiffel tower, Louvre, Vatican City, etc.
No it's to make more money.
@philho.youtube Truth!!! It has absolutely nothing to do with anything except money. If EU countries were enforcing their borders, then the original comment would have made sense. The US is guilty of this, too. Just money grabs.
They literally ask for a small fee. If it was purely procedural why are we paying for our own documents?
Aus isn’t safe u want to go there be prepared to get stabbed or see someone die and these counties made it difficult for America and it’s the same for any other country who has americans walking into the nation but where I’m from it’s easy for anyone but Americans to get there’s the next day I got mine when I applied for a Europe country
Big deal.
Us EU nationals have had to apply and pay for ESTA to enter the US for years (even though my daughters are US citizens).
For my most recent Us trip (April this year) ESTA had gone up from 14 to 21 USD. So 7EUR fee is cheap. Should be at least double that.
I'm worry more about interconnecting flight on airport. Is it really US passport holder mandated to apply their EU(Schengen Visa)?
This is to reduce lines and waiting. I am sure the long queues were causing havoc to Airport security at European Airports. I think if they did something better than force people to use it. I bet if they said for 8 US dollars you can sign up at this website to pre enter your passport and travel information ahead of time you can skip the long lines. Everyone hates waiting in line. They would gladly pay 8 dollars and fill out an online form to do so.
> This is to reduce lines and waiting
That's happening gradually already. More and more European countries allow US citizen to us their e-gates for immigration. Usually takes only minutes.
In Egypt, just pay $35 cash at the immigration counter, you get a receipt glue to your passport, you walk out of the air port 😅
Even with this you'll still have to line up for customs. Unless they intend to use facial recognition
@@highlyfavored2434 That's a different thing but that's actually also already possible for US-citizens at some European airports. Local citizens generally can use e-gates at immigration when they have biometric e-passports.
And I think more and more places allow American visitors also.
This immigration usually takes minutes. Customs isn't really a thing when entering most European countries, at least not in the form of their being queues.
@@thrlfwbbl8038 exactly we went through Germany recently and the queue moved very fast though customs. We were in and out in less than 10min
For “security”. Yeah not profit huh 😅
The US ESTA for Europeans is $21!
Well i have had to do this aswell when going to the US, it’s more expensive aswell.
wonder what the reason is for? Sounds like a nightmare for people who lose things easy, such as important numbers.
finally some justice
no it’s bureacracy
So basically, Americans are getting finally treated the way they treat others.
Gonna see a lot of angry customers at airports. This is really dumb.
And yet we Europeans have been accepting this when visiting the US without making a fuss. We just accept that that's the rule and then enjoy ourselves. It really is no big deal!
This is Schengen not Europe. So it doesn't apply to Ireland for example.
People have to jump through more hoops to visit the US.
It's a bit hypocritical for Americans to be upset since all EU citizens need a green card waiver, which costs around $6, to enter the US.
This is pretty much exactly the same thing.
You can't get upset at something your own country does.
I wasn't old enough to vote when that rule was passed
It’s bureacracy, ideally the US should remove this fee itself instead of the EU imposing its own form. as an individual i didn’t preach nor create the fee for EU citizens to come to the US
The real upsetting factor is that illegal migrants need no visa to enter Europe. They just enter and stay. So, its ridiculous to demand visas from people entering legally when illegal migrants are tolerated.
Only fair to reciprocate
"Next year" is pretty vague.
It is, and it might not even happen.
They have pushed back the introduction of this thing so many times now that giving exact dates a year ahead of time is pretty much impossible :)
So basically, a visa?
I wish getting a visa was that simple.

The globalist will eventually ban traveling
US have it already for foreigners wanting to visit, and it's more expansive. It's called ESTA.
But the US gas been doing this to foreigners forever, so now, it's time they do the same to us and rightfully so.
Who might get rejected and why?
Criminals and health risks.
A billion travelers translate to 7-billion Euros of extra revenue.
@kevinw10 So t's not a billion travelers:
It's 1.4 billion people living in the 60 countries that can potentially use am ETIAS authorization to enter EU/Schengen-Zone for tourism. There were 168m non-EU arrivals into the EU in 2018, most of these from other European countries, only 30m from the US. Many of these would require a classical visa to enter. So let's be optimistic and say 100m per year with ETIAS, many of these repeat visitors, so if this brings in 400m a year that would be plenty.
I doubt that this will cover the cost of the system, considering it includes ideas about setting up electronic immigration gates at a large number of airports and all sort of connected IT systems/databases that have to be maintained and staffed.
Exactly 💯
I can imagine how Africans will be treated!! I was racially profiled in Dubai on my way to Canada. Those people think black people cant or should not travel
I was racially profiled in Dubai as well. And I saw several other blacks that were profiled along with myself
Only Mauritius and the Seychelles enjoy visa-free travel to EU/Schengen countries today. So nothing will change for the bulk of African countries, visitors will need a Schengen visa now and in the future also.
I pass.
There’s no place in Europe I want to go that I’m willing to fill out more paperwork to see
What date next year does it start?
No fixed date yet and they the supposed entry date many times before. The most recent was supposed to be November 2023.
It was suppose to be November 2023
I wonder if this is because Europeans are getting upset about immigration into the continent
We already have to do something similar to enter the US. Why not ask the Americans to do the same?
Not really... that's if you act like a MAGA republican and vandalize and BREAK THE LAW... the ticket will arrive at your home town trailer park. UGH
When I went to Saudi Arabia I paid $150 for a visa. $7 isn't that bad.
$8 today, $120 tomorrow
What if you have global entry??
You started that after all with ESTA
Europe is already very late compared to the USA !
USA started this system already almost 10 years ago but American citizens don't know !
😂😂😂 a taste of their own medicine.
Medicine does not go down all throats the same way.
Great Video🥰
She said to fill this out before buying a plane ticket....
If it's just for screening at the airport then why do you need it on your person at all times during your stay. Must have micro trackers in the documents. More personal data grabbing.
It’s not screening at the airport. Many travelers will have to submit additional documentation and wait 30 days. It’s effectively a visa.
Or so if the Germans catch you riding their train without paying the fee, you have to pay the fine or get refused entry into Europe on your next trip
@@damnjustassignmeone "....This is just an extra way to mitigate long lines at the border....". Show me your papers...never mind.
Its definitely for more control. America has required this of European visitors for years. Its never 'for your safety'
@@newviolets8489 Well, I did wait over 3 hours in Croatia a couple years ago. That was awful.
I mean it's only fair, for years I wondered why a US citizen could come to the EU with no Visa required while I, an European needed one to visit the US. While this isn't the same as obtaining a Visa, it's still some step up to better control who's coming in and increase our safety.
Ever hear of the Marshall Plan. That’s why it was free for USA
@@kapsig10 A post-WWII plan shouldn't mean that the US still enjoys, this many years later, advantages like not needing extra checks or a Visa to enter our territory, which we need in the opposite condition. We're supposed to be allies and yet EU citizens can't visit without a Visa, for safety reasons I guess. Then if that's the case, having Americans visiting our countries without Visas could also pose a safety threat.
Nothing fair about approving some in minutes while taking a month for others
@@stevenroshni1228 you're right, it still wouldn't be equal but at least it's a step in that direction.
@@stevenroshni1228
> Nothing fair about approving some in minutes while taking a month for others
The month is for when you get rejected, still want to go, and even extra documents won't convince them to let you in.
But sure, if you get rejected because you are deemed a security risk for instance, I totally get that the people affected will consider that unfair.
Same as when that happens if you get refused entry to the US I presume.
Has more to do with another way for government to get additional income ie another tax
Extra layer of security? How?
You won't get authorization of their databases deem you a security risk or you've violated visa policies in the past.
🤔🤷🏻♀️ sounds like one of the main reasons is to increase a new tax a new burden on the citizens and subjects
~8 USD and valid for 3 years is some tax burden. That probably doesn't even cover the cost of the ETIAS system. The equivalent US system (ESTA) costs you 21 USD for 2 years, so is roughly 4 times as expensive for regular travelers.
Well America has charged Europeans who travel to the States for years, don’t see what the big deal is…..
I have a question: If I am traveling to multiple countries in the EU, do I have to apply to all the countries I intend to visit or just to the country I an entering/longest stay in the EU?
I have to figure out these issues when helping family with the Schengen visa. Its always a pain, especially if you choose a difficult country to apply for a visa. We have missed trips because the country approved our visa but refused to give us back the passports (**cough** Italy **cough**)
It’s only strict for Americans going to any country because America isn’t best friend with everyone where I’m from I got it next day
@@ritaa1359 Sorry if my question is confusing. What I meant to as was; If an American is going to France, Italy, and Germany, do we need to apply for all three countries or just for the country we are entering the EU?
The second part was just me complaining about the wait period if this turns into more than just a quick check. Visas from the EU are not the easiest to obtain if you are not a US Citizen and I worry it will evolve into something more complicated as a lot of these things tend to do.
@@indiamaster2294you only have to do it once per person and you’ll be fine for all Schengen countries. Traveling between Schengen countries in Europe is like traveling between states in the us, no passport control
Just travel to Canada 🇨🇦 instead.

Legit fear but the US ESTA hasn't. Putting substantive obstacles in the way of people from rich countries coming to visit for tourism or business would lead to considerable local backlash.
I suppose that might be one of the reason why the introduction date of the EU ETIAS system has been pushed back multiple times already.
Even if you are going for a week
Would I need to fill one out if I have a layover in Europe?
yes
That depends on the airport but probably not.
Most or possibly even all European airports that would have flights to the US will have international transfer zones where you do not go through immigration into that country when you connect to another international flight.
E.g. direct NYC->Frankfurt connecting to direct Frankfurt->Delhi, no need for ETIAS.
Finally and the fee should be at least €20 👍
'extra layer of security'? how?
@johns6177 You won't be able to get on a flight to EU/Schengen when their databases flag your passport connected to things they don't like. Same as the US, Canada, Australia and some other places already do.
Think police, terrorism and immigration related databases.
Thanks for the update but you forgot to mention what month in 2024 this will start? 🙏🇺🇸
They haven't set an exact date yet, and judging by how often this has been pushed back already, I would be surprised if the start date pushed back once more.
ETIAS is meant to act as a pre-travel screening, to deny those that pose a security threat, or a risk in terms of irregular migration or public health.
Of course if a migrant comes over on a boat from Africa and lands in Italy there's no fee. If the migrant has no documents because he's destroyed them he still gets to stay. If the authorities find he's a security threat he still gets to stay in Europe and is financially supported by one of the European states because he's an illegal migrant.
Ahh ohh well. Who wants to travel to Europe anyways.🤔
Me.
……Those of us NOT living in the “Flyover states”. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@eddieg6436You mean the states more people are moving out of? Makes sense.
Bet you don't own a US passport.
@@Allaiya. YOU and all your minimum wage family that can't afford a blue state can move to them red states... THEY NEED PEASANTS!
I see this affecting Americans and the United Kingdom post brexit
And all the other non-EU countries Americans don't know exist
Foreign travel? Just getting a US Passport now takes 5-7 months!!
So we basically need to buy $7 to enter EU? Just a fancy name to collect/ "process" the data🧐🤨🤔
Yes... prevents and discourages MAGA GRIFTERS who live off others.
well we as in europeans need to pay 14 E for esta and much more for visa to enter US. fair for you guys to do the same
The rest of the world pays approx 20 USD for the visa to enter the USA. And this since at least 20 years. So Europe is actually quite kind to only ask for 7 USD for a visa for Americans to enter Europe.
EU and the rest of the world also receives free American protection that kept commies and slant eyes out
More control as per usual
If this prevents entitled kids from doing sht to ancient sites or canals or anywhere... I doubt it, but cool that they have to pay a bit of what we have to pay ^^
USA has this too
Wont stop me from going
Nothing wrong with this each country should have some sort of vetting. I don’t mind the extra security.
Screw other countries...I'll keep traveling in my beautiful country and keep my money spent here...
Yay!
people complain about 30 day wait but who plans for a trip overseas with plane tickets such a short time in advance lol? We started planning for our US trip from Europe 6 months ahead of time.
No big deal.
Should have been done years ago. Borders too porous.
I love to travel without thinking that I have to apply for permission. This will stop a lot US citizens to travel to Europe including me. No more fun😅

> This will stop a lot US citizens to travel to Europe including me.
It didn't stop foreign tourists coming to the US, when the US gov introduced similar requirements in 2009/2010 for all the countries that had enjoyed visa-travel to the US before.
We'll see.
I wonder if this will be the same for Canadians!
Yes it will be the same for Canadians
Can't travel to Europe without a passport. How's that backlog going?
So this is americans answer on esta
