After limiting liquid items at airports, what are the other two changes for

The European Union has slowly tightened entry controls for foreign visitors in recent months.

This trend is expected to accelerate from 2025 onwards, when a new border policy will come into force, affecting all non-EU travellers.

Size limitation of liquid items

The first innovation came into force from 1 September and concerns the limit of liquid items you can carry on a flight in the EU: after promising to remove the 100ml rule, they are actually bringing it back.

The phase-out featured the testing of more sophisticated C3 scanners and faster, more efficient screening -- but plans to continue have fallen through as the latest regulation issued by the European Commission formally reinstates the limit requirement for liquid items.

Fingerprints for all travelers

The other big change coming to European airports on November 10 is more significant: fingerprinting and registration of all non-European tourists arriving at European borders will be mandatory.

This is part of the new European Union Entry-Exit System (ESS), which aims to modernize border control and the screening of new passengers.

Your data will be stored for three years, so it is likely that you will not need to provide any more fingerprints during that period.

Entry fee to travel to Europe

Last but not least, you'll need to hold off on booking those flights to Europe, at least until you're cleared to fly there.

Although it is not a formal visa, without it, you will no longer be allowed to board flights to Europe from mid-2025.

It's called ETIAS (or European Travel Information and Authorization System) and it applies to all foreign nationals who can currently visit the EU without a visa.

Once the ETIAS platform is up and running, you will be able to apply online and most applications will be processed within seconds or minutes.

You will need to fill out a form, answer some questions and pay a fee of 7 euros.

Once your ETIAs are approved, you will receive a 3-year authorization to travel delivered directly to your email.

If the passport expires earlier than your current ETIAS, then you will need to reapply, after having issued a new travel document. Although an ETIAS is valid for 3 years, it does not mean that you have to stay in Europe for 3 years.

This allows you to travel an unlimited number of times in the Schengen Area, as long as you stick to the 90-day rule on each trip.
