Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the differences between a Visa and ETIAS?

While they are both travel documents required to enter a specific territory and share some similarities, one of the main differences is that the ETIAS is an entirely electronic system. Another big difference is that the waiting time and procedure for the application and issue of the ETIAS is really reduced. The European Travel Information and Authorization System is similar to some other systems already in place, such as the Canadian ETA or US ESTA. It is connected to various international databases that can verify the traveler’s information within minutes.

Which countries require an ETIAS to enter?

All of the twenty-six European countries that are part of the Schengen area require travelers who wish to visit their territories to have an ETIAS approved before entering the zone. Remember, when you are typing information on the application form about the first country you will be visiting, it should match your traveling route, to avoid a customs officer denying you entry.

Do citizens of Barbados need to apply for an ETIAS?

All citizens from countries that are not part of the European Union, and can currently enter the Schengen area without a visa will now need to apply for an ETIAS, either if it is for tourism, medical, or business reasons or only to transit.
