Already hold a Schengen visa or residence permit?
An unexpired short-stay Schengen visa generally covers visits across the area within its stated territorial validity, entry count, dates and authorised stay. A valid residence permit or long-stay visa issued by one Schengen country also allows short visits to other Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Qualifying family members of EU citizens exercising free-movement rights may get facilitated visa procedures; conditions apply. You must still meet border-entry conditions; check your document's limits and conditions.
Official guidanceETIAS is not accepting applications yet
ETIAS is not operating and is not accepting applications, so you do not need to apply or pay an application fee now. The EU currently plans to start it in the last quarter of 2026 but has not announced the exact date. Once applications open, the official fee is €20; applicants under 18 or over 70 and qualifying family members of EU citizens are exempt. Apply through the official EU website or app, and check the current status before travel because other sites may charge extra service fees. Eligibility also depends on your travel document and residence status.
Official guidanceEES records your biometrics at the Schengen border
The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is fully operational at the external borders of all 29 Schengen countries. If you are a non-EU national making a short stay, EES records your passport details, facial image and fingerprints, along with your entry and exit information. You do not apply for EES in advance; registration takes place at the border. For travelers registered in EES, the digital record replaces passport stamping. Exemptions include some people with a residence permit or long-stay visa issued by a participating country. Check the linked official EU guidance for the full list. EES does not replace a visa you need or guarantee entry.

Does my country of residence change the answer?
Passport nationality and legal residence are different. This page starts with your passport.
