European Travel Announcement: ETIAS Coming in 2025

Planning European adventures for 2025 and beyond? Here's what you need to know: Beginning in 2025, the European Union is introducing ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System), a new digital travel authorization for U.S. citizens and other visa-exempt travelers. While not a visa, this pre-travel authorization will be mandatory for entry into EU countries.

Similar to the U.S. ESTA system, ETIAS is designed to enhance border security while maintaining ease of travel. The system is “expected” to launch in mid-2025, with a possible grace period of 3-6 months during the initial rollout.

As we curate extraordinary European experiences—like our Quintessential Portugal, Italy in Vogue, Courts & Culture in Chianti, and Christmas Magic in the Rhine Valley tours—we'll keep you updated on ETIAS requirements and timeline. Your seamless travel experience remains our top priority! ︎ ︎
