In the Schengen area, the EES (Entry/Exit System) and ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) systems will be activated this year. Scheduled to come into force in spring 2025, EES will electronically record the entry and exit of third-country nationals, replacing manual stamping of passports. Six months later, in autumn 2025, ETIAS will be introduced, with a six-month transition period during which travel authorization will remain optional. From spring 2026, ETIAS will become mandatory for all short-stay visa-exempt travelers in the 30 European countries concerned. It is important to note that no precise date has yet been set for the entry into force of these systems, and that any site currently offering an ETIAS authorization is fraudulent.
Belarus also plans to open its e-Visa portal in March 2025.
