My Daily Mail Interview - European Visa Waiver

ETIAS & EEA - not just two irrelevant acronyms but they represent systems that will affect 'EVERYONE' who wishes to travel to any of the 34 EU & Schengen countries from the beginning of 2024!

You may already be aware and have used the ESTA - visa waiver programme for entry to America, well a similar mandatory authorisation entry scheme will be with us UK citizens and every other non-EU country sooner than we may think, thanks to Brexit!

To keep things simple: ETIAS - not a visa, more accurately referred to as a visa-waiver. The system will check the security credentials and charge a fee 7€ to travellers visiting EU member countries for business, tourism, medical or transit purposes.

EES (Entry & Exit System) - from May 2023 Established by the European Union to register entry and exit data of non-EU nationals crossing the external borders of EU Member States - yes just like those self-serve machines you find in the immigration hall at Heathrow.
