5 BIG Travel Rule Changes for 2025 – European Visas for Americans

5 BIG Travel Rule Changes for 2025 – European Visas for Americans

hey there fellow Travelers Mar here with Walter world and today we’re going to talk about some of the changes you should expect in 2025 when it comes to travel and these are things you should definitely know because it can really impact you depending when you’re going to travel and one thing I want to talk about is if you’re in the US standardized carry-on rules are coming yes that means in the US the new standard rules is 56 CM by 40 cm by 23 cm which for Americans means absolutely nothing so in inches it’s 22 in by 14 in by by 9 in that is a new standard thing that all the US carriers are going to be using so yes we now finally have one rule that works for all the airlines so we don’t have to guess if I’m on Spirit versus delta am I going to be okay the problem with that is is we as Travelers probably didn’t win very much because a lot of your carry-ons you’re using now probably exceed those limitations so just be aware of that however it is going to be standardized so you know what you’re going to have also the weight is going to be between 15 lb to 22 PB so 7 kilos to 10 kilos so you have that so something you might want to think about because also what they’re going to be doing is they’re going to be checking more the weight and the sizes on those carry-ons so they can get a little bit more boost in their luggage check Money profit so be aware of that now other rules you might want to know about if you’re going to be coming here to Europe guess what EES is coming the European entry exit system basically what it means for you as a traveler when you come into the European Union fingerprinted and pictured also unfortunately that might mean less stamps in your passport but you’ll be electronically checked in and checked out when you come to Europe so you’re getting fine not really impact you much but just less stamps in your passport the one that’s really going to affect you and this is one that theoretically is coming in 2025 but it’s been supposed to be coming in 2024 23 22 e the European travel information and authorization system basically it’s a viser waiver program so basically you’re going to come to Europe you’re non Union citizen you’re going to have to pay a small fee like $7 fill out some forms you need to do that the key thing is you have to do that before 72 hours before you come so you can’t do it at the airport you got to do it before because it can take up to 72 hours to get your approval now it could happen in 10 minutes it could happen in 10 seconds or it could take 3 days so be aware of that now the UK is also started the ETA system the electronic travel authorization works just like the e system or the esta program in the US you fill out the forms you have this kind of thing and it allows your entry and it’s important you have to fill this out if you’re going to be staying in the UK or even if you’re just transiting through the UK so be aware of that now the wind is getting rain is getting B so I’m going to go in my hotel room to finish [Music] this woo a little wet there all that liquid coming down actually help you remember another change you’re going to have to be looking for and that is the changes in the 311 rules for liquids when you fly scanners have gotten a lot better if you’re flying through the UK you notice they’re not even checking really for the liquids very much at all what you’re going to see is relaxation where airports are going to be like saying that you can bring liquids that’s no problem or within you know relatively normal size amounts and that 311 rule may disappear but the thing is some airports are doing away with it but not all airports so it depends where you’re flying out of and when you come back home the airport you’re departing from from because you may leave from an airport that’s like we don’t care about the 311 rules anymore but when you come back they might so do still have some of your you know Ziploc bags kind of stuff the clear bags so you can put your stuff there for your liquids okay so I want to give you the heads up so those are five Chang to look for in 2025 when it comes to travel rules there are other things coming like more tourist taxes day trip taxes and Venice kind of stuff but I wanted to get the big five that’s going to affect the most Travelers so you have the EES system coming to the European Union where they’re taking your pictures and doing your fingerprints and stuff like that you have Eis system which basically is a Visa waiver you have to fill out 72 hours before you go to the European Union you have that one you have the ETA system which is you know registering to going to the UK or transiting through the UK you have that one as well you have the changes to the liquid requirements and the standardization of carry-ons when you’re in the US so I hope this helps you know a few of those changes what are the things you expect to change in travel in 2025 let us know in the comments below we wish you great travels wherever you are whether you’re outside and beautiful Paris or inside your room because it started pouring down rain bye

If you are traveling in 2025 there are some big changes coming to the airport and airline experience from standardized luggage to visa waiver systems and more. ETIAS, ETA, EES and more. So be prepared for your next trip abroad in 2025.
