- kmos17 4y agoThat’s not true. The EU and Canada do not have a similar policy for US passport holders, you can travel without having to file anything in advance.

Note "Nationals of any of these visa-exempt countries need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorisation." You will notice the flag of the USA, and if you follow the link, see it listed in ANNEX II (1.B) https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:02018R1806-20210101&from=EN#tocId22 https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL... I've not looked at the recent rules for entry to Canada. The point is that to date, the EU has had issues in bringing the ETIAS scheme in to operation. It was supposed to be operating now, but looks like it is delayed until 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETIAS?useskin=monobook https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETIAS?useskin=monobook
