These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of ETIAS-Validator.com (the “Site”). By accessing, browsing, or otherwise using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree to any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site. We may update these Terms from time to time and the “last updated” date above will reflect the most recent revision.
ETIAS-Validator.com is an independent, privately operated reference portal that publishes general information about the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). We are not affiliated with the European Union, the European Commission, Frontex, eu-LISA, any EU member state, or any government authority. The Site does not process, accept, or transmit ETIAS applications, and we cannot influence the outcome of any application made through the official EU portal.
All content on the Site is provided strictly for educational and informational purposes. Nothing on the Site is intended to constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal advice, immigration advice, tax advice, financial advice, or professional travel advice. ETIAS rules, fees, validity periods, exempt categories, and participating countries can change without notice. Before relying on any information published here for travel, work, or financial decisions, you should verify the current position with primary EU sources and, where appropriate, seek qualified professional advice.
The eligibility checker tool offered on the Site runs entirely in your web browser. It provides a non-binding, educational estimate based on the information you enter and the publicly available rules at the time the tool was last updated. The output of the tool is not a determination by any government, is not a guarantee that you will or will not be granted ETIAS authorisation, and must not be used in place of an actual ETIAS application made via the official EU portal at europa.eu. We accept no liability for any decision taken in reliance on the checker output.
The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without warranty of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, free of viruses, or that any information published is accurate, complete, current, or fit for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we disclaim all warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ETIAS-Validator.com, its operators, and any contributors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of, or inability to use, the Site — including but not limited to lost profits, lost data, missed travel, denied boarding, or refused entry — whether based on warranty, contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
The Site contains links and references to third-party websites — including official EU sources, news outlets, regulators, and embassies — for your convenience. We do not control these external sites, do not endorse them unless explicitly stated, and accept no responsibility for their content, accuracy, security, or availability. Following an external link is at your own risk.
Original content on the Site — including written guides, layouts, the eligibility checker, design, and the “ETIAS Reference” identity — is the property of ETIAS-Validator.com unless otherwise stated. You may share direct links to public pages on the Site and quote short, attributed extracts for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce substantial portions, redistribute, scrape at scale, train AI models on the content, or republish material from the Site without prior written permission.
You agree not to use the Site to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation; (b) attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its underlying systems, or any connected service; (c) interfere with or disrupt the Site's operation or other users' enjoyment of it; (d) reverse engineer or scrape content in a way that imposes disproportionate load; or (e) impersonate ETIAS-Validator.com or misrepresent your affiliation with the Site.
We may add, remove, or modify content, features, and pages on the Site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms; continued use of the Site after revised Terms are posted constitutes acceptance of those changes. We recommend reviewing this page periodically.
These Terms are governed by applicable law in the jurisdiction of the Site's operators. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site shall be resolved in the competent courts of that jurisdiction. Nothing in these Terms restricts mandatory consumer protection rights you may have under the law of your country of residence.
Questions about these Terms can be sent to contact@etias-validator.com. For corrections to factual content on the Site, please use the same address and include a link to the page in question along with the official source you are referencing.
