Since I'm over 70 yrs, I dont care- I still have to apply, but dont have to pay. The ETIAS is good for 3 years
By contrast, the US ESTA is only good for 2 years and allows no seniors exemption.

ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026.
No action is required from travellers at this point.
The European Union will inform about the specific date for the start of ETIAS several months prior to its launch.
