Europe Implements New Travel Rules

The European Union and the United Kingdom are introducing new travel regulations. Travelers to the U.K. will need to apply for electronic travel authorization valid for two years before their flights. The EU’s ETIAS requirement is set to commence in late 2026. Additionally, the Entry-Exit System, starting in October 2025, will incorporate facial and fingerprint scans for entry into the Schengen Area – wsj.com
