It is valid for three years or until the passport used in the application expires, whichever comes first.  \nAir, sea and coach carriers will be required to the check that travellers possess a valid ETIAStravel authorisation before boarding.  \nWHY ETIAS?  \nETIAS was developed to maintain a high level of internal security of the European Union, while ensuring smooth border crossings of travellers. Currently, border authorities in Europe assess whether travellers pose a security, public health, or irregular immigration risk when they have already arrived at the border. ETIAS will allow for the assessment to be done before the travellers start their trip, making their travel easier and more convenient.  \nETIAS IS NOT A VISA  \nHaving an ETIAS travel authorisation only allows travellers to enter and remain on the territory of the European countries requiring ETIAS for a short-term stay. ETIAS does not give the right to study long-term or to work in these countries. Nationals of visa-exempt countries who plan to stay in a European country requiring ETIAS for a longer period, will most likely need a long-term visa. Travellers who already have a valid visa do not need an ETIAS travel authorisation.  \nSimilar travel authorisations for visa-exempt nationals are currently implemented by the US, Canada and Australia as well as other countries.  \nPAGE 3 ~~ ~~  \nEUROPEAN COUNTRIES REQUIRING ETIAS  \nThese 30 European countries require visa-exempt travellers to have an ETIAS travel authorisation:  \nWHO WILL NEED AN ETIAS  \nNationals of below listed countries will be required to have an ETIAS travel authorisation in hand in order to travel to Europe:  \n~~ ~~ PAGE 4  \nROLLOUT OF ETIAS  \nTIMING  \nThe entry into operation of ETIAS is directly linked to the Entry/Exit System (EES) . Following the eu-LISA Management Board’s announcement regarding delays, eu-LISA is currently preparing a revised timeline for the launch of the EES.  \nThe exact date of the launch of the EES is expected to be announced by Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council in autumn this year. The entry into operation of ETIAS is planned to take place a few months after the start of the EES.  \nETIAS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED I","cbCaiqe0dz9aDwAD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqe0dz9aDwAD","pdf",3978183,"English","# ETIAS Misinformation (Common Mistakes)\n## Entry into operation timing\n## Requirements and eligibility clarifications\n## ETIAS validity, fees, and official website\n# About ETIAS\n## Purpose and security assessment\n## ETIAS is not a visa\n# European Countries Requiring ETIAS\n# Who Will Need an ETIAS\n# Rollout of ETIAS\n## Timing linked to the EES\n## Transitional period\n## Grace period\n## ETIAS stages and border types\n# All About the Application Process\n## How to apply","[{\"question\":\"What is ETIAS and who needs it?\",\"answer\":\"ETIAS is a travel authorisation for visa-exempt travellers making short-term stays in European countries requiring ETIAS.
