The ETIAS is an electronic document the European Union will implement to safeguard their borders from any possible security concerns. The Germany ETIAS will be linked to your passport electronically, so it will show up in the system as soon as you arrive.

Your ETIAS travel authorization is valid for three years or until your passport expires - whichever comes first. It's for short-term stays: a valid ETIAS travel authorization entitles you to stay in the European countries requiring ETIAS for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
