Etias (Europees Reisinformatie- en Autorisatiesysteem)

Etias is the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, an online travel authorisation for non-EU nationals who do not need a visa to enter the Schengen area. Applicants apply online and pay a fee, and the application is checked against EU security and border databases before travel. The authorisation is not a visa, and it is not a document that can be bought from third-party websites.
