You can't apply yet. Nobody can. The EU portal hasn't opened, which means every website taking ETIAS payments today is taking your money for nothing. We'll tell you the day it actually opens — and help you get it right first time.
Counting to 1 October 2026 — the earliest date in the EU's confirmed Q4 launch window. The exact date is announced by the European Commission several months ahead.
One email when ETIAS goes live. One when it becomes mandatory. Nothing else.
We'd rather you trusted the source than trusted us. Every line here is checkable against the European Commission.
Check all of this at the source → travel-europe.europa.eu/etias. If anything we say ever contradicts the Commission, the Commission is right.
They are selling a document that does not yet exist. Here is how to tell them apart from a legitimate service — including us.
The application is short. Getting it wrong is what costs you — a mismatch between your passport and your form is what triggers a manual review, and a manual review can take up to 30 days.
We check every field against your passport before submission. Name order, transliteration, document number, expiry. This is where applications die.
Expiry buffers and format requirements, checked against the EU's own published rules — with a source link on every finding. We state the rule and what your document says. The judgement stays yours.
Most approvals land in minutes. If yours doesn't, you'll see exactly where it stands, instead of refreshing an inbox.
