British tourists won't be required to pay an entrance fee to Europe until 2024, following a postponement to the scheme introduced to create charges. The launch date of the Etias (European Travel Information and Authorization System) programme has been modified by the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs at the European Commission in Brussels.
According to the plan, non-EU citizens—including Britons—who do not need visas will have to pay £7 to enter the Schengen Area. The system's goals include improving EU nation security, keeping an eye on visitors, and minimising traveller delays.
The EU Commission hasn’t given a date or a month when the scheme will be introduced but only says that it will be launched next year.
