Starting in the last quarter of 2026, the European Commission will roll out an electronic travel authorisation system for visitors from countries that are currently not part of the EU, called ETIAS.
ETIAS stands for the European Travel Information and Authorisation System. The system will check the security credentials and charge a fee to travellers visiting EU member countries for business, tourism, medical or transit purposes.
The ETIAS will be mandatory for citizens of such countries as the United States, Australia, New Zealand Canada and the UK.
In fact any citizens from a non-EU country who do not currently need a visa to visit an EU member state for a short-term stay require ETIAS for entry.
At the present time, our Festival schedule for 2026 will not be affected. Nevertheless, it would be prudent to remain aware of the forthcoming changes and make a note of everything ETIAS related by checking out https://etias.com/etias-frequently-asked-questions and retaining the link ready for the day that you need to take action
