In 2024, new rules for entering the countries of the European Union will come into force. To enter the EU, Ukrainians will need to obtain a special travel permit - ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System).

What is ETIAS?

ETIAS is a new requirement introduced by the European Union that applies to visa-free travelers who are going to visit one of the 30 EU countries. Citizens of 60 countries, including Ukraine, will need an ETIAS travel permit.

How to get permission?

Tourists will have to apply through the European Travel Information and Authorization System portal. To do this, they will need a valid passport valid for at least 3 months, an email address, fill out an online form and pay a €7 fee.

Duration of the permit

The ETIAS permit will allow you to stay in any of 30 European countries for 90 days. In general, the travel authorization will be valid for three years (or until the passport used in the application expires).
