Do Brazilian citizens need an Italy ETIAS?
Brazilian travelers have long enjoyed the freedom of visa-free trips to Italy and other European destinations. But things are changing. Starting from mid-2025, Brazilians will need to apply for an Italy ETIAS for short stays in Italy, covering travel for tourism, business, or even just passing through.
The ETIAS, short for European Travel Information and Authorization System, was announced in 2016. The main reason behind introducing the ETIAS is to strengthen security within the Schengen Zone. Until now, Brazilian passport holders could travel freely within these countries using just their passports. The ETIAS introduces an extra level of security, making travel safer for everyone involved.
It's important to note that the ETIAS is not a visa. It's a travel authorization system, similar to the US ESTA and the Canada eTA. These systems are designed to maintain security while also keeping travel easy for visitors.
One of the big pluses of the ETIAS is that it's all-encompassing. With one ETIAS, Brazilian citizens can enter Italy and all other ETIAS-requiring countries. This makes it much easier for those looking to visit multiple European nations, as it cuts down on the need for different travel documents. In essence, the ETIAS is your single pass to a whole range of European adventures.
