About ETIAS Pro
An independent, plain-English guide to ETIAS, built to help travellers get ready before the EU system opens.
In brief
What we do
ETIAS Pro exists to answer one question well: what does ETIAS actually mean for your trip, and what should you do about it now? ETIAS is the EU’s new travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors. The EU has not announced a launch date, and press reporting points to 2027. Until it starts, there is a lot of confusing and sometimes misleading information online. We try to be the clear, honest version.
What you can do here
- Read plain-English guides by topic, nationality and destination.
- Check whether you are likely to need ETIAS, free, with no passport details.
- Work out your 90/180-day allowance and passport validity.
- Get one email when the official EU system actually opens.
Why we are independent, not the EU
We are a private service and we are careful to say so on every page. The ETIAS authorisation is issued only by the EU, through the official EU ETIAS website. We will always point you there, and we will never use EU flags, stars, crests or “official” wording to look like something we are not. If you want the full detail, see is ETIAS Pro official?
How we keep guidance accurate
Our guides are checked against official EU sources on a regular cycle. Each page shows when it was last updated and links the sources we checked. Our editorial policy explains how pages are researched, including our use of AI tools, and how we correct mistakes.
About the editor: Jonathan Greenfield is the editor of ETIAS Pro, responsible for our editorial standards and corrections.
What we plan to offer after launch
Today we charge nothing and take no applications, because ETIAS cannot be issued yet. When the official system opens, we plan to offer an optional assisted application with clearly disclosed fees, always on top of the official €20 EU fee and never instead of it. Using a private service will always be a choice; the EU system is open to everyone directly.
