THIS YEAR, THE European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) is set to launch, requiring Americans, among many other nationalities, to apply, pay and then receive documented approval to cross into the Schengen Area countries. The new layer of travel planning marks a way for the countries in this region of the European Union to tighten security while collecting helpful revenues. The rollout is set for November.
