Has anyone heard of a more specific start date for the Etias program than "last quarter of 2026"?
That's a pretty big window- I'd like to get this chore taken care of as soon as I can.
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.

They say they will provide " several months" notice, so you will have plenty of time to do the necessary, once (if?) they hit the 'go' button.
