Heading To Europe In 2025? You’ll Need This New Travel Document American travelers heading to most of Europe will soon need to add another item to their travel checklist. Starting in May 2025, a special travel authorization—ETIAS, which stands for the European Travel Information and Authorization System–will be required. Once the program starts, some 1.4 billion people from the U.S. and dozens of other countries will need ETIAS to enter 30 European
countries. Travelers under 18 years old or over 70 will not have to pay a fee. The ETIAS travel pass will be valid for 3 years. In the past, most Americans needed only a passport to visit the 30 participating countries. If you don’t have it, you won’t be allowed to get on that plane.
