The "ETIAS Plan" will be implemented starting on January 1, 2024, according to a recent announcement by the European Union. The non-EU nationals of more than 60 nations, including Taiwan, who are able to enter the Schengen areas without a visa, are the implementation targets. For individuals between the ages of 18 and 70, the application price is 7 euros (about NT$237); for those under the age of 18 or above the age of 70, it is free. The duration of validity is three years, but the pertinent rules, such as the 90-day maximum visa-free stay, still need to be followed.

ETIAS, also known as "European Travel Information and Authorisation System." Passengers can also utilize this system to check in advance to see if they can enter the nation, saving themselves the predicament of being turned away because they didn't follow the rules.
The European Union further emphasized that the ETIAS internet application must be completed at least 96 hours before travel to the Schengen region. They can only do business and travel in these nations once their application has been accepted. Applicants can receive permits in minutes.
