IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING NEW EES & ETIAS
TRAVEL AUTHORISATION SCHEMES
​​
Please note there are a few new rules coming into effect with regards to travel to Schengen Areas of Europe known as EES & ETIAS which are travel authorization schemes being implemented for visa-exempt nationals to visit certain European countries. The estimated release dates of the above schemes are November 2024 for EES and mid-year in 2025 for ETIAS. Once we have specific dates, this message will be updated. Please contact Ruth or Tina at Action Tours for more details.
PLEASE NOTE: The above does not include the Island of Ireland which will continue to enjoy free movement in accordance with the Common Travel Area arrangements in place, which means that passports and the new EES & ETIAS are NOT required when travelling to Ireland by sea.
​
UPDATE AS AT 11TH OCTOBER 2024
The EES scheme has now been delayed with no new launch date given. When we get any new information, this page will be updated again.​
