Major new visa requirements for Australians headed to Europe.
Australians planning a trip to Europe in 2025 face new rules ahead of their visit.
Previously Australians could travel visa-free to the history and culture-rich continent, but that's not the case anymore.
The European Union has introduced a new entry system for Aussie travelers, which includes a new $11.50 application fee. It's all part of the new European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) program, which is a new entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals from 60 nations, including Australians.
The program starts in the first half of 2025.
The participating countries are: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
What does it give you?
With a valid ETIAS travel authorisation, you can enter the territory of these European countries as often as you want for short-term stays - normally for up to 90 days in any 180-day period, the EU states on its website.
'However, it does not guarantee entry. When you arrive, a border guard will ask to see your passport and other documents and verify that you meet the entry conditions.'
How does it work?
The ETIAS is linked to your passport. It is valid for up to three years or until the passport expires, whichever comes first. If you get a new passport, you need to get a new ETIAS travel authorisation
How do I apply?
Go to the ETIAS website and fill out the application form online, or apply through the ETIAS mobile app.
The cost is seven Euros, which works out to about $11.50. When we have more information we will post it here.
