The 30 ETIAS Countries
ETIAS is required for entry into all of the following countries from Q4 2026:
Schengen Area (EU)
Non-EU Schengen
NOT in ETIAS Zone
*Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania are EU members that recently joined or are joining the Schengen Area. Their inclusion in the ETIAS zone is confirmed. **Microstates: while not in ETIAS formally, they are accessed through Schengen territory and ETIAS is generally required to reach them.
Special cases
The UK left the EU and is not part of the ETIAS system. The UK operates its own Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), already mandatory since January 8, 2026 for visitors from eligible countries. If you are visiting both the UK and mainland Europe, you need both a UK ETA and ETIAS — two separate applications.
Ireland is an EU member but is not part of the Schengen Area and has opted out of ETIAS. Travellers visiting Ireland only do not need ETIAS. Ireland operates its own border checks independently.
These microstates are not formal ETIAS members but are surrounded by or accessed through Schengen territory. Visiting them generally requires crossing Schengen borders, so ETIAS applies to the Schengen portion of the journey. No additional authorisation is typically required for the microstates themselves for short visits.
