Overview
Future travel authorization system for visa-free travelers entering Slovakia/Schengen. Coming in late 2026, this will replace visa-free entry for eligible nationalities.
The European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is a new pre-screening system coming to the Schengen area in late 2026. It will replace the current visa-free entry system for travelers from eligible countries. ETIAS is not a visa but a travel authorization that strengthens border security while maintaining visa-free travel.
