| US citizens will need to pay for a visa to travel to Europe starting in 2024 |
| 2023-07-26 |
| [NYP] Long gone are the days of spontaneous holidays overseas. Beginning in 2024, the European Union will require visitors to get pre-approval via the European Travel Information and Authorisation System — and that goes for summer jet-setters from the US. Before securing tickets, lodging, or a reservation at that trendy hotspot you saw on TikTok, vacationers will need to submit an ETIAS application for approximately $8. Applicants will need to provide travel documentation, such as a passport, as well as personal information, education level, current occupation, anticipated trip details, and any criminal convictions. While most applications are processed within minutes, some take longer to yield a decision and the European Union advises visitors to apply "well in advance." A response is promised within four days but could be extended by 14 to 30 days depending on the circumstance. Once the authorization is secured, however, it is valid for up to three years or until the visitor’s passport expires. |

| #3 Been there seen that. Given the eurines' ongoing dislike for America and Americans, I'm no more likely to spend money to go there again than to see a Hollywood movie or drink Bud Light. |

| #2 Wie Du mir, so ich Dir. No surprise. The US has been doing the same bullshit for years to travelers to the US. See Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). Will the idiotic customs forms be next? |
