Rare hcat Posted July 27, 2023 #51 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Just saw this on tv..and online Planning a trip to Europe? You'll need to apply for 'authorization' starting in 2024. (NEXSTAR) – Starting in 2024, all Americans heading to Europe will have an extra step – and an extra fee (apparently does not apply to Non EU nations..) wonder if this will affect travel/ cruisers from USA yet another step...US citizens are.already experiencing long delays for Passports !

wrk2cruise Posted July 27, 2023 #52 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Yes it's going to affect US travelers. It's basically what US requires of travelers from Europe. I believe UK is included. It's online and I think is supposed to be typically approved within 48 hrs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahasamatman Posted July 27, 2023 #57 Share Posted July 27, 2023 The EU has been talking about ETIAS for a long time, and it just keeps getting delayed year after year. Just because they say it'll be implemented in 2024 doesn't mean much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you read the rest of this thread? Registering will be an online process and should be no big deal. The similar processes for Australia and New Zealand take about 10 minutes to complete online. Authorization normally takes less than 3 days - Ours arrived in a few hours of submitting online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mom says Posted July 28, 2023 #61 Share Posted July 28, 2023 (edited) Aaaand, you might want to take a breath, because France has requested a delayed start until after the Olympics. So stay tuned. https://www.thelocal.fr/20230310/france-wants-to-delay-new-eu-border-system-until-after-paris-olympics Edited July 28, 2023 by mom says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the same experience with the Australian version (notice received in an hour!) while our New Zealand version - which was applied for on-line since the App wasn't working - took 24 hours for my DH and about 48 hours for me. The process was very straightforward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We thought we would need this, but it was delayed, and not for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare foodsvcmgr Posted July 28, 2023 #64 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Interested to see some clear and accurate details on disqualifications. A time frame for old non-violent offenses, handling of DUI’s (like Canada?). So far I gather: terrorism obviously, significant exclusions related to drugs, no more than three years past incarceration. But lots of gray areas with everything else.

ETIAS will be required by the majority of countries in Europe, and many of the countries that aren't using ETIAS are the ones less-visited by tourists (not talking UK or Ireland of course, but places Belarus, Ukraine, North Macedonia, Albania, and places like that). The vast majority of countries a cruiser or other holiday-goer to Europe will visit will require an ETIAS. Your post is mostly correct. But The Republic of Ireland is an EU member so ETIAS will be needed to visit all but the small portion of the Island still occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ireland is not part of Schengen - hence no need for ETIAS when visiting Ireland. All EU countries are not part of Schengen and some non EU countries are. The list of countries you provided does not include Ireland either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember for sure but I thin when I boarded Serenity in 2020 they checked for Australia and perhaps New Zealand ETA's. Roy We have to apply for ESTA to visit the USA and we've had to print copies of the authorised ESTA for the cruise company when doing Transatlantic cruises. We get an email notification from the cruise company that it's a requirement and it's always asked for when documents are checked at embarkation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklinmom Posted July 30, 2023 #69 Share Posted July 30, 2023 https://etias.com/etias-requirements/etias-for-american-citizens I didn't realize this would affect Europe cruises as of January.

All UK and EU citizens need an ESTA to travel to the US which is obtained before travel and involves photos and finger printing on arrival. Maybe the UK should charge US citizens? 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not "as of January" The page you link to says "in 2024" but the truth is they have postponed the start day several times and as of now they haven't set a new start date beyond this vague "in 2024" placeholder. If you click on the "application" link at the top of that page, it takes you to this page, which allows you to sign up for "updates on the ETIAS launch date" from this UNOFFICIAL website. https://etias.com/etias-application 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudderBear Posted July 30, 2023 #75 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I don't mind the $8, but for lordy's sake, its such an invasion or privacy and such an opportunity for Identity Theft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
