From 2024, travel to Europe will no longer be free. The ETIAS visa extension program will allow foreign holders to enter EC countries at a price of 7.70 dollars, CNN reports.
The system was created on the model of the ESTA visa-free travel program, which was introduced in 2009 by the United States. ETIAS will join the seamless shipping and handling fees that are now charged across Europe.
Residents of around 60 non-EC countries that no longer require a visa – the US, the UK, Japan, Singapore and the UAE – will now have to pay.
Citizens of the European Union are exempt from taxes, regardless of their nationality
From now on, people who currently need a visa to enter the EC will continue to need the document.
Travelers must apply for an EC entry permit prior to travel via the online process. It will cost 7 euros and will allow multiple entries over the course of three years or until the passport expires, whichever is earlier. This is cheaper than ESTA, which costs 21 dollars for two years.
Applications must be processed in “minutes”, with the greater part of them being processed in 96 hours, the EC predicts.
The Venetian example
This tariff is planned for 2024 and starts from 3 euros on weekdays to 10 euros during peak hours. This bag, however, is only for one-dayers, who are believed to make up 90% of the visitors, contributing little to the local economy but causing a lot of problems in the city a.
If you stay for one night, you have already paid the tax for the night and are exempt from it.
Typical examples
The tours are special in that they go to the surrounding area, as well as to the towns, which are flooded with crowds on typical airport days. However, they take up less time in the determination, so they are already covered by the beard.
The cities of Greece are taxed by taxes on the income of the citizens. If your bus stays in Barcelona for 12 or more hours, you will pay 4.75 euro (3 euro regional tax and 1.75 euro regional tax).
Amsterdam citizens, for example, coming from abroad pay 8 euros. This is only valid for one-day purchases. Whether your trip starts or ends in Amsterdam or you spend the night on the town, free of charge.
Is this only in Europe?
Many US states charge “containment taxes”. On top of that, many American hotels add a “travel bag” that doesn’t even go to the municipality.
Taxes are also standard in the Caribbean basin, where they are usually added to the hotel fees. There is an entry fee for tourists arriving in New Zealand and a departure fee for holidaymakers departing from Japan.
