Travellers going to Europe from 60 visa-exempt countries including Australia will be impacted by new entry requirements from next year under the EU's crackdown on illicit immigration activity.
Beginning 2024, travelers from more than 60 countries that were previously exempted from holding visas will need to apply for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System before entering the continent.
Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland are also on the list. Applications for an ETIAS can be filled out on the official website once launched or the ETIAS app for a cost of €7 Euro or $11.40 AUD.Processing of new applications will typically take minutes from applying but the agency has warned of extended times of 14 to 30 days should a face-to-face interview or additional paperwork be requested.
