UK travellers who want to visit countries within the EU Schengen Zone will soon need to complete a new pre-screening process to do so.
The European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will be implemented for residents of more than 60 nations who currently can travel to the 27 Schengen countries without a visa. While it has been delayed several times, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports that it will likely be brought in by the end of this year from November 2023.
This means that certain tourists - including Scots - who want to fly to any Schengen country in the last two months of the year should prepare to take the extra step.
