What to consider when filling out the ETIAS form

In 2023, ETIAS will be operational and become mandatory. It isn't easy to say how the system will operate as we have limited information today. It's safe to presume, though, that it'll be similar to the US ESTA program. Some distinctions are already known: for example, with ETIAS, tourists will be able to stay in the Schengen area for up to 90 days. The ETIAS visa waiver in itself will have a validity of three years, and during this time, travelers may be able to enter the Schengen area multiple times.
