Summary:
- The European Union (EU) is launching a new border control system called the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) in October 2025.
- ETIAS will require all non-EU visitors to obtain an electronic travel authorization before entering the EU, similar to the ESTA system used for travel to the United States.
- The new system is designed to enhance security and control over who enters the EU, as part of the EU's efforts to strengthen its borders and manage migration.
