ETIAS, which stands for European Travel Information and Authorization System, is a travel authorization that will soon become mandatory for travelers entering Schengen Area countries. This system aims to strengthen security measures across Europe, requiring people from visa-exempt countries to apply before traveling. The ETIAS is not a visa but an additional layer of security. The European Union (EU) developed ETIAS to help monitor travelers who might pose a security or migration risk. It will be in effect from mid-2025, offering streamlined travel procedures for low-risk individuals. You will need to fill out a ETIAS application in order to enter Iceland.
