From mid-next year Australians will be required to pay an entry fee, but another change should make travelling the EU easier.
Starting this November, the EU will no longer stamp Australians’ passportsAt some date in 2025, Australian passport holders will need an ETIAS Travel Authorisation to enter the EU, but don’t hold your breath. The ETIAS program was approved in 2016 with a proposed start-up date of 2020. Since then, it’s been postponed, delayed and shoved on the back burner – year after year.
Applying for an ETIAS can only be done online, and it’s straightforward. Access the official ETIAS website or download the ETIAS app, which is – surprise – currently under construction. Complete the application form, pay the fee of €7 , submit your application and await an email confirming the outcome. Applicants under 18 or over 70 pay no application fee.
Beware of fake websites masquerading as official ETIAS websites. They’re scammers; they’ll charge more than the official fee, and once you hand over your credit card details, you open yourself up to possible fraud.Another change that Australians will see at EU airports – passport stamps will soon become a memory. Due to launch on November 10, 2024, the EU Entry/Exit System is an automated IT system for registering travellers from third countries who are visa exempt or hold short-stay visas.
