Croatia to become the 27th Schengen country in 2024

Croatia is highly likely to obtain Schengen membership in the next years after an exhaustive evaluation between 2016 and 2020. Border problems persist with neighboring countries Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro, but the country has shown steady progress. Croatia, the newest member of the European Union, could also become the latest member of the Schengen area in 2024. After careful review, the Council of the European Union declared in December 2021 that Croatia meets all 281 recommendations necessary to gain Schengen membership. In short, the Council could soon lift border checks and integrate Croatia within Schengen. The Balkan country would benefit heavily in terms of tourist numbers. If Croatia joins Schengen, it will also join the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS visa waiver).

In 2025 it will be mandatory to register for ETIAS

ETIAS registration will commence in 2025 and become mandatory in 2025. Citizens from visa-exempt countries will need to apply for ETIAS and get authorized to enter Europe. In 2016, European institutions approved setting up a visa waiver to increase the security and safety of citizens within Schengen borders. The European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) system was initially supposed to go live by the end of 2021. Still, it was pushed back and is now confirmed to begin online pre-screening in 2025 and become mandatory in 2025.

Do you need an ETIAS to travel to Bulgaria?

Bulgaria is a member of the European Union and, therefore, is set to join the Schengen area at the earliest. If Bulgaria becomes a member of Schengen in the next years, travelers will require an ETIAS to enter the country. Bulgaria joined the European Union along with Romania back in 2007. As a member of the EU, the country will eventually join the Schengen area at the earliest possible date once it fulfills the entrance criteria. According to the Bulgarian government, entering Schengen remains a high priority. Once Bulgaria joins Schengen, travelers will require an ETIAS visa waiver to access the territory.
