EES and ETIAS: New regulations for travel to Europe

If you are set to travel to Europe, make sure to check on the new entry regulations due to start in 2025.

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay.

ETIAS: Starting six months after EES, some 1.4 billion people from over 60 visa-exempt countries are required to have a travel authorisation to enter any of these 30 European countries for a short stay.

Be sure to check the EES and ETIAS websites above to find out if both systems have been launched and if you need to take action.
