A new travel permit will soon be needed for entering certain European countries such as Spain, France, Italy and Turkey
.
At the moment, people from the UK don't need a visa to enter countries in the Schengen area - which is most of Europe. But now, holidaymakers have been warned that they could be barred from travelling if they don't have an ETIAS in place. With an ETIAS, UK citizens can stay in Europe for up to 90 days within a 180-period. It's valid for three years, and you can travel to Europe multiple times during this period.
“The ETIAS will undergo a detailed security check of each applicant to determine whether they can be allowed to enter any Schengen Zone country. While citizens of countries who do not need a visa for travel purposes of up to 90 days in the EU do not need to go through a long process of applying for the visa, the ETIAS will make sure that these people are not a security threat.”
