Since many years, the Schengen Visa has been admired by many due to the access it gives to 26 beautiful 'Schengen' European countries. If you have already heard of the Schengen Visa, the ETIAS Visa will only seem familiar to you. Short for European Travel Information and Authorization System, the ETIAS Visa includes 26 Schengen member countries in the European Union.
Citizens residing in 60 European countries will have to apply for the ETIAS visa, and Canada is included in these countries as well. This visa will be valid for three whole years, during which the visa holders can visit any of the 26 European countries for a total of 90 days, during a 180 days period. The process for ETIAS will commence in 2021, as right now, travel and tourism industries are at a halt due to the pandemic.
