About etias.guide
etias.guide explains, in plain language, the EU’s new travel rules for non-European visitors: ETIAS, the upcoming travel authorisation, and EES, the Entry/Exit System already in place at the borders.
Why this site exists
ETIAS has been announced, postponed and re-announced for years. Meanwhile, many websites present out-of-date dates as certain or sell “applications” for a system that is not open. We wanted a reference that says clearly what is decided, what is not, and where each piece of information comes from.
What we do
- We read the official sources: EU regulations, the official ETIAS and EES websites, eu-LISA and the European Commission.
- We explain them in 25 languages, with the date of the last check on every page.
- We correct the site as soon as an official source changes, and keep a dated history of changes on each page.
What we do not do
- We are not an official website and have no link with the European Union, its agencies or any government.
- We do not process ETIAS applications, sell travel authorisations, or act as an intermediary.
- We do not give individual legal or immigration advice. For a personal situation, contact the consulate of the country concerned or a lawyer.
The only official ETIAS website is travel-europe.europa.eu/etias.
