This new travel regulation will be applied to the non-European travelers who belong to the countries that are allowed to stay in the continent of Europe without having to acquire their visas. Other than the European Nations, these 62 countries do not need to acquire their visa in order to enter the continent of Europe.

ETIAS is the European Travel Information and Authorization System, it is the new visa waiver system for the people who didn’t have to go through any visa formalities to enter Europe. Countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States of America. Travelers from these countries are abiding of all visa formalities and they are allowed to visit any of the total numbers of 44 European Countries without their visa.
The concept is introduced in order to protect the boundaries of the European nations. The concept of ETIAS will also help the European Union in dealing with immigration issues. Also, it will be more convenient for travelers who are visiting nations. The continent of Europe also consist of 26 Schengen Area border countries.
