The upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) visa waiver system will be essential for specific non-European Union nationals. These are individuals who currently don’t need a visa for brief visits to Italy and the rest of the European Union, lasting up to 90 days. Although ETIAS isn’t a visa, it functions as an extra layer of travel authorization. Once granted, it will offer the flexibility of multiple entries over three years. The application process will be streamlined and digital, with a fee of 7 euros for applicants aged between 18 and 70. The primary purpose of ETIAS is to enhance European Union security by keeping track of travelers from designated countries. Importantly, those holding dual European citizenship, such as Italian nationals, won’t need to apply for ETIAS. In this episode of the Italian Citizenship Podcast hosted by Italian Attorney, Marco Permunian, and dual citizen expat podcaster Rafael Di Furia, share an overview and details of the upcoming ETIAS system for those thinking about traveling to Italy or moving to Italy.

Italian! outstanding view. farewell!:)
Question… If I fly into one country, like France, only to take the bus or train over into Italy, does that mean France is needs to be listed on my ETIAS form first, then Italy?
What about the spouse of a (dual US) Italian citizen? Will she (US citizen) need the ETIAS?
The ETIAS is valid for 3 years and you need to list your first country of entry when you travel. What do I do with subsequent trips where my country of entry may be different? E.g. Started my first trip in Italy, but started in Germany the next trip
Is The ETIAS visa a digital attachment to your passport or is it a hard copy? Thank You
How about a foreign spouse of an EU citizen (whether residing in the EU or not)? Does that foreign spouse also need ETIAS?
I refuse to go to EU anymore. Many will do this. Watch the Eurotrash cry when they lose tourism dollars from US, Canada and Australia.
Meanwhile we're not dependent on Europeans coming to us. Never met any as a legit tourist.
Why should you be alarmed for ETIAS…. USA Is doing It for centuries. Don't worry too much.
By the way how much YouTube pay you for giving this service.
In order to not need this ETIAS, does one need to travel on their Italian passport or is it only needed to have proof that you are a citizen of an EU country (but are still traveling on a U.S. passport)?
With dual citizenship with Italy if we do not apply for ETIAS must the airline ticket be purchased using the Italian passport or tickets booked with US and entry into Italy is with our Italian passport ?
