The Entry/Exit System (EES) became fully operational on 10 April 2026 across all Schengen countries, after a progressive rollout beginning 12 October 2025. ETIAS is scheduled to start operations in Q4 2026; no precise date confirmed as of June 2026. Applies to all Annex II nationals entering the Schengen area including Italy. The application fee is EUR 20 (updated from the originally proposed EUR 7, adjusted for inflation and additional operational costs); authorization covers multiple short stays within 3 years.
