Understanding ETIAS validity and travel flexibility

The Italy ETIAS offers significant flexibility for Bahamian travelers. Once approved, your ETIAS remains valid for three years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first. During this period, you can:

  • Make multiple entries into Italy and other Schengen countries

  • Travel across all 27 Schengen member states

  • Use the same authorization for business or tourism

Pro Tip: Based on customer feedback, we recommend starting your ETIAS application at least 96 hours before your planned travel date to allow for any potential processing delays.
