When and how do we apply for ETIAS for Europe? Do we need to apply for 2021 trips?

Hi temluv, Yes, the ETIAS "travel authorization" begins January 1, 2021, so you will need it then for travel to any of the 26 countries comprising the Schengen Area that have abolished passport and border controls at mutual borders. We have a blog post about it(with links)on our website (April 2019); you can find it at: odysseys-unlimited.com/will-travel-europe-require-visa-2021-not-exactly/ (or from the homepage: Resources / Odysseys Blog / Travel Tips / EITAS ) As you may know, ETIAS is not a visa; and the on-line application (when available) should only take a few minutes of your time. In most cases, authorization should appear quickly. Please let us know if you have further questions.
