Now is the time for Americans to visit Europe because beginning in 2021, it won’t be as easy. A European Travel Information and Authorization System or ETIAS document will be required of U.S. travelers trying to enter Europe effective January 1, 2021. You won’t need to re-apply each time you decide to visit Europe during those three years. As of 2019, US citizens are allowed to travel throughout Europe for up to 90 days without needing a visa. You might be wondering, why exactly is Europe making me apply for a new authorization come 2021?
