Poland will join the EU travel information system ETIAS

The new EU ETIAS system will require non-EU travelers to undergo security checks before traveling, aiming to enhance safety and reduce illegal immigration. The system is set to launch in Q2 2027 and will involve changes to several laws regarding border control and immigration. ETIAS will allow for the electronic submission of travel authorization requests, enabling early identification of potential security threats. The system will be managed by the Chief Commander of the Border Guard, with data accessible to various national authorities. A fee of 20 euros will be charged for travel authorization, contributing to the EU budget.
