Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ETIAS(European Travel Information and Authorization System)?

The ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) will allow the EU Commission to decide the eligibility of citizens from the visa-waiver countries or ETIAS available countries. This system works with an electronic platform that screens all the relevant information of each applicant thanks to the use of biometric passports.

Every applicant will have to fill in an ETIAS form before traveling to Europe, and the information presented will be pre-screened so that the authorities can see if the applicant is a risk to the Schengen Area.

This online visa-free system gives you an electronic paper linked to your passport which will allow you to travel to any Schengen member state. You’ll be able to travel in that region for 90 days per Entry.

Which countries are eligible for the ETIAS?

The ETIAS is available for at least 60 countries by now. All of them don’t have to apply for a Schengen Visa or EU-Visa to visit Europe.

To see if you’re eligible for this document, and also learn more about the ETIAS and how to apply, we suggest you visit our webpage. By using our web page, you’ll be able to see not only if you’re qualified for the ETIAS, but also if you need another document to visit any country you wish.

Are the ETIAS and the Schengen visa the same?

The method required to get a Schengen visa is more complex and troublesome than the one required for the ETIAS.

You can only receive a Schengen visa at a local embassy, while the ETIAS is obtainable through an online application form, meaning that you can apply for it at any time you want.

Besides, the ETIAS is a document needed for visa-exempt countries, while the Schengen Visa is obligatory for the other countries that aren’t visa-free.

What items are required to get the ETIAS?

The ETIAS doesn’t require much work on your side, so it’s not hard to apply for it. Nevertheless, you still have to provide a few things so that we can give you the ETIAS as fast and as easily as possible.

Take into account that if you apply with another application service that’s not ours, you’d still have to give the following items:

• A biometric passport with a valid due date.
• A scanned-copy of the passport’s first page (information page).
• An e-mail address to receive your ETIAS.
• Your valid debit or debit card. You can also use a Paypal account. These are mandatory for payments.

Important: We do accept payments with Paypal, but most of the services offered online don’t so keep that in mind.

How much do I have to pay for the ETIAS document?

The stipulated price for this document has grown over time because the European Commission has had to strengthen the system to ensure everyone's safety.

Biometric passports are required due to their security benefits such as preventing unauthorized reading or “skimming” of the passport data.
