Canadians will have to pay even more to check destinations like Spain and Portugal off their bucket list, as the European Travel Information Authorization System (ETIAS) fee is set to increase next year. Canadians, Americans and Australians are just some of the visitors who will need to pay the extra fee to enter Europe. The travel authorization will be linked to your passport, so you'll need one that doesn't expire within the next three months. "This is why you should apply for an ETIAS travel authorization well in advance of your planned journey." Once you obtain ETIAS authorization, it'll be valid for three years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.
