For US passport holders, it’s been a long-accepted fact that most of Europe does not require you to apply for a visa before you travel. This has made planning a vacation a lot easier for American travelers. With the European Union set to roll out the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) program, traveling to some parts of Europe will require more planning on your part than before. Here’s what you need to know about the EU’s new visa waiver scheme so that your journey remains as smooth as possible.

Expected to roll out during the early stages of 2025, the ETIAS scheme applies to countries that fall into four categories. The first category is full members of the Schengen region, including the likes of Italy and Spain. There are then European Free Trade Association (EFTA) countries such as Iceland which are not Schengen members. Future Schengen members such as Cyprus are also included, and finally, European microstates, which include the likes of Monaco and Andorra.

Although there may be many countries that fall under this new program, have no fear, as completing the requirements laid out by the ETIAS scheme is easier than you may think. Rather than being an actual visa, this is a simple waiver that entails a quick online application that you’ll need to fill out before you travel. What’s more, the application will be delivered to you via email, making it quick and easy to complete and submit. Ultimately, ETIAS is a simple travel procedure that helps European nations safeguard their security without hindering your travel plans as a US citizen.

Do you have a remote or flexible job and want to spend some time overseas? If so, then there are several countries that offer visas that will allow you to work from abroad in your current remote role, thereby providing you with a unique opportunity to travel somewhere new and work at the same time.

Cayman Islands

Through its Global Citizen Concierge, the Cayman Islands allows entrepreneurs and business owners to live and work from this island paradise beyond the restrictions of a regular work or tourist visa. By becoming a Global Corporate Citizen, you’ll be able to work remotely from the Cayman Islands while enjoying some unique tax benefits and enjoying the freedom to come and go as you please.

Spain

Through its new digital nomad visa, the Spanish government is allowing travelers to stay and work in Spain on a one-year visa which is renewable for up to five years. If you happen to have a spouse or unmarried partner, fear not, as they can apply for the same visa to come along with you.

Canada

While yet to be launched, the Canadian government is working on a visa that will allow foreign nationals to spend up to six months in Canada while working remotely. What’s more, if you’re able to find a Canada-based job while you’re there, you’ll be able to remain in the country so long as you successfully apply for a work visa.

One of the perks of being a US citizen is that you often don’t require visas to visit countries. The process of getting a visa is both complicated and expensive and can take super long to arrive. Ain’t nobody got time for that. 

At present, those with American citizenship can visit the United Kingdom without a visa for a period of 6 months. But a new policy being rolled out by the UK may soon make that a bit trickier.

Great Britain plans to fully digitalize its borders by 2025 and is rolling out an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA)  system that will require all non-visa foreign visitors (including those from the United States) to apply online in advance of coming. 

“Our number one priority is the security of the UK border and by launching ETAs we can ensure that everyone wishing to travel to the UK has permission to do so in advance of travel and refuse those who pose a threat,” stated the UK’s Home Secretary, Priti Patel. 

So what can potential visitors expect?

Travelers will have to provide personal details, passport information, and security information in order to apply, and can expect a response within 48-72 hours. It has not yet been confirmed how much the process will cost. 

The ETA is set to go into effect later this year.
