The ETIAS Visa Waiver for Italy and European Travel

The Italian Citizenship Podcast

The upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) visa waiver system will be essential for specific non-European Union nationals. These are individuals who currently don't need a visa for brief visits to Italy and the rest of the European Union, lasting up to 90 days. Although ETIAS isn't a visa, it functions as an extra layer of travel authorization. Once granted, it will offer the flexibility of multiple entries over three years. The application process will be streamlined and digital, with a fee of 7 euros for applicants aged between 18 and 70. The primary purpose of ETIAS is to enhance European Union security by keeping track of travelers from designated countries. Importantly, those holding dual European citizenship, such as Italian nationals, won't need to apply for ETIAS. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian Attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, share an overview and details of the upcoming ETIAS system for those thinking about traveling to Italy or moving to Italy.
