ETIAS Visa Waiver – Significant Changes in European Visa Policy for Brazilian Travelers
In 2016, the Council of Europe and the European Parliament introduced the entry-exit system (EES) and the ETIAS visa waiver. Europe’s visa policy is changing and adapting to new schemes for a more robust and secure Europe.
How ETIAS will affect Brazilian residents in European countries?
The new regulations, which will come into force in 2025 for ETIAS (Electronic Travel Information and Authorization System), may affect Brazilian and other foreign residents living in European countries. ETIAS will change the whole traveling structure to be much more straightforward and more accessible and ensure the safety and security of everyone involved in this program. The ETIAS visa waiver will be operational within one year, and citizens of 60 countries will be required to have ETIAS travel authorization in Europe.
The European visa waiver will improve the Brazilian passengers’ experience
Systemic changes will help prevent delays, and the implementation of ETIAS by 2025 will make travel to the Schengen area easier for millions of visitors, including Brazilian citizens.
ETIAS Visa Waiver – What distinguishes it from a traditional visa?
By the end of 2025, Brazilian citizens will have to apply for a European visa waiver to travel to Europe. Europe introduced a new system to strengthen security and regulate illegal migration, which enforces the safety and the security for both the travelers and the states residents that are being visited.
