Update: ETIAS from 2025
ETIAS travel authorisation is required to enter a Schengen member state from mid-2025. All visitors who do not currently need a visa to enter Europe are expected to register with ETIAS. This gives them permission to visit all countries that are part of the Schengen zone.
As of today travellers can apply for a pre-travel verification. But unlike an ETIAS the provided information will not be shared with the border authorities.
Pre-travel verifications are checked through provided up-to-date information in regards to the entry rules for Schengen member states/ countries. The check will provide you with an offcial overview of your information and decide whether travel is permitted and extra information that might be needed in order to do so.
Proof can still be requested by local border authorities and will therefore always be advised to be brought along when travelling.
Pre-travel verification for groups
When travelling per group it is good to make sure all travelers all well prepared. Every traveller would be able to apply for a verification seperately or one person in possesion of every travelers data can apply for the group.
