These have now been officially confirmed.Without issuing a press release, the website of the EU Commission for Migration and Home Affairs has changed the introduction date of ETIAS to 2024.
Anita Hipper, spokesperson of the EU Commission for Home Affairs, Migration and Internal Security, said that the entry into force of ETIAS is closely linked to the availability of the EES. The Entry/Exit System is designed to monitor the entry and exit movements of third-country nationals. This system is still under development and is closely linked to ETIAS. According to Hipper, ETIAS will not be operational for another five to six months.
