EU launching travel authorisation for most EX-YU nationals
NEWS FLASH
Citizens and passport holders from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia will require travel authorisation to enter European Union member states, as well as Norway, Iceland and Switzerland, starting from late 2023. Known as ETIAS, citizens from all countries that enjoy visa-free travel with the EU will be obligated to register online once every three years prior to travelling and pay a small fee. It will impact 1.4 billion people from over sixty visa-exempt countries, including the likes of the United States, United Kingdom and Australia. It is important to note that ETIAS is not a visa. ETIAS is linked to a traveller’s passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation. It involves filling up a form online and paying a seven euro fee after which authorisation should be issued within minutes. ETIAS is expected to be implemented from November after years of delays. An exact date is yet to be announced.
