ETIAS Required for Fall 2026 Trip??

Good morning!

I heard from other travelers that an EITAS pass will soon be required for travel to Europe. I searched online, and have found conflicting reports on when EITAS will go into effect. I will be traveling to Italy this fall, and want to make sure I am on top of things while also not unnecessarily getting a pass.

If anyone has any knowledge on this subject, could you please clarify the rules and when they go into effect/if they are already in effect?

This is the official website: https://travel-europe.europa.eu/etias

As of today it is not operational and you cannot apply. Check the website occasionally before you travel to see if that changes. The EU will give several months advance notice when it starts.
