UK travellers will soon have to pay to enter dozens of European countries in a new scheme due to launch later this year.
As previously reported, the fee will be paid for a new electronic travel permit that has been introduced to enhance the security and enforce the borders of the Schengen zone. The new visa waiver is expected to be valid for three years and allow unlimited entries into the EU.
Travellers from the UK will also need to complete an online application form to obtain their ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System). The application form should not take longer than 10 minutes to complete.
