TRAVEL UPDATE: NEW REQUIREMENT FOR EUROPE!

Heading to Europe in 2025? ✈️🌍 Canadians, Americans, and other visa-exempt travelers will soon need to apply for an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) before entering Schengen Area countries.

What You Need to Know:

✅ ETIAS is NOT a visa – it’s a pre-travel authorization (similar to the U.S. ESTA).

✅ Required for stays up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

✅ Covers 30+ European countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain & Greece.

✅ Cost: Around €7 (free for travelers under 18 & over 70).

✅ Valid for 3 years or until your passport expires.

💡 Planning a longer stay for work or study? You may need a visa instead!

⏳ ETIAS launches in mid-2025 – so plan ahead and avoid travel surprises! Stay tuned for updates.
