Important requirements for travel to Europe are coming soon

[CORRECTED LINKS]

Announcement: The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is now scheduled to begin on October 12, 2025 and will have a multi-country, phased rollout through April 9, 2026. All U.S. and Canadian travelers will need to register their biometric data (facial image and fingerprints) when flying into countries of the European Union; this will replace the current system of passport checks and stamping. It has not yet been disclosed which countries will be in effect first. There is no fee attached to this new system but it will be mandatory as each country adopts it. 

    The Entry Fee and Visa-waiver Permission (ETIAS) for Americans and Canadians to travel and enter the European Union has been officially postponed until the end of 2026… yet another reason to travel this year! Note that the United Kingdom however, does have an entry fee requirement currently in place; find out more at ETA UK.

REQUIRED: UK entry permission!

Now that the European Union has officially delayed its ETIAS (visa waiver) fee and online permission in order to enter certain European countries until the end of 2026 (yay hooray!) we felt it was the right time to remind our readers that these requirements are in effect for the entire United Kingdom. As most of you know, the UK is now considered completely separate from Europe.

In the Clued-In Travel Books world, that specifically means those interested in visiting London, England and Edinburgh, Scotland are required to pay the small fee and be accepted/ allowed to enter the UK. This is done online at the following website; just follow the simple instructions. Do it in advance (we recommend at least two weeks.)

Try an unusual dining experience in London

If you’re heading to London, we have a great restaurant recommendation for you… Have you ever wondered what it’s like to be blind, especially in a restaurant? This is your chance to have a unique experience and to discover how intensely food can taste when you can’t see it. At Dans le Noir? guests enjoy their meal in pitch darkness. Don’t worry, the chef is fantastic and you’ll be gently led to your table. We know this may not be for everyone but hope you’ll give it a try. We guarantee it will be an evening you’ll never forget, especially as your perception of people who have limitations begins to change. Call ahead to book a reservation. (By the way, there is also one located in central Paris!)

Europe’s travel authorization delayed again.

This will make many people very happy! The fee and visa-waiver permission for Americans and Canadians to travel to Europe (ETIAS) has been officially postponed until late-2026 or early-2027… yet another reason to travel this year! We are updating the information in our travel books to reflect this change.
