US EditionEU to Triple Travel Permit Fee to 20 Euros
EUROPEAN UNION, JUL 18 – The fee increase to €20 reflects inflation and operational costs after delays, aligning ETIAS with similar US and UK travel authorisation programmes, valid for three years.
- Under a proposal published Friday, the European Commission proposed a 20-euro ETIAS fee, almost triple the originally planned seven euros.
- Reflecting inflation and added operational costs, the European Commission said it must raise the ETIAS fee as part of boosting funds for defence and agriculture.
- The ETIAS authorisation must be applied for online before departure, and the permit, valid for three years, exempts travellers under 18 or over 70.
- The EU Council and European Parliament must endorse the new 20-euro fee in the coming months, with legislators given two months to review the proposal.
- The European Commission said ETIAS is expected to go live in the last quarter of 2026, although it may be delayed until the Entry/Exit System functions smoothly.
