Скачать или смотреть BIG CHANGES for U.S. Travel from 2026: ETIAS, EES & UK ETA EXPLAINED!

If you’re a U.S. traveler planning flights for 2026 and beyond, major changes are just around the corner. These aren’t small tweaks — they could impact how you book, how you board, and whether you are even allowed on your flight. ✈️
Here’s what’s coming:
📋 European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS): Starting late 2026, visa-free travelers (including U.S. citizens) to the Schengen Area will need to apply online before boarding.
iVisa
🛂 Entry/Exit System (EES): Launching from October 12 2025 and fully phased by April 2026 — you’ll face biometric scans and digital entry/exit logs instead of traditional passport stamps.

🇬🇧 United Kingdom Electronic Travel Authorisation (UK ETA): The UK is already rolling out digital pre-travel authorisations for many travelers — check requirements early.

⚠️ What this means for U.S. travelers:
You’ll need to plan before you board, not just upon arrival.
Expect longer border-crossing procedures during the transition.
If you skip the digital authorisation, you could be denied boarding or entry.
🌍 These changes reflect a global push toward digital travel authorisations, biometric tracking, and tighter pre-travel screening.
Don’t get caught off guard. These rules are being phased in now — act ahead to avoid delays, denials, or unexpected costs.
