These papers (edit: US and EU versions) weren’t needed before but are going to be needed soon. Going backwards. And no one cares.

- crayboff 3y agoHonest question, do you complain that USA implemented this same type program in 2008/2009? Or do you just care now because this affects US travelers?
- browningstreet 3y agoI mean both ways. US implemented it first, Europe implemented it in return. Idiotic and unnecessary and political and, apparently, unavoidable now.
- unethical_ban 3y agoI wasn't aware EU travellers had to get a visa to enter the US. When I flew to the EU and eastern Europe in 2019, I didn't need a visa. I didn't need to tell anyone my exact dates and itinerary. I paid for a ticket, had a passport, and went.
- happymellon 3y agoYes, we have needed an ESTA for a long time now. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_System_for_Travel_Authorization https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_System_for_Travel... $20, but you have to apply regularly. They do "something" and you may or may not be approved, and everyone including children need their own one.
- petre 3y agoThis has been 100% expected. It is bacause of lack of US visa waiver to certain EU members (Romania and Bulgaria for example). It's the same for Canadians who travel to the EU and who's country lifted the mentioned restrictions. https://www.etias.ca/ https://www.etias.ca/ As much as I like Americans, you have to understand that you were priviledged before and that this privilege has ended because of your country's visa policy treating EU citizens differently.
