NOTICE: UK travel authorizations will be required effective January 8th.
The European Union (EU) Will Soon Be Requiring a New Travel Authorization for Visitor Entry
Starting in 2025, travelers from over 60 visa-exempt countries will be required to have a travel authorization to visit most European countries.
In a Nutshell:
"ETIAS travel authorization is an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of these 30 European countries. It is linked to a traveler’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorization.
With a valid ETIAS travel authorization, you can enter the territory of these European countries as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. However, it does not guarantee entry. When you arrive, a border guard will ask to see your passport and other documents and verify that you meet the entry conditions."

Your ETIAS check-list
Apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation well in advance – before you buy your ticket or book your accommodation
Make sure your passport details correspond to those in your ETIAS authorisation – you will be refused boarding and entry at the border if they do not match
Make sure your ETIAS travel authorisation is still valid
Check how long you can stay in the European countries requiring ETIAS
Make sure your passport is valid for three months after your intended departure from the European countries requiring ETIAS - you will be refused entry at the border if it is not (exceptions apply).
