Fees and payment
The ETIAS application fee is € 5, however, travelers under the age of 18 will not need to pay the fee. Debit and credit card payments are accepted.

Schengen Area Visa
If you are not eligible for ETIAS or if your ETIAS application is refused, you will probably need to apply for a Schengen visa to visit Europe.
If you wish to stay longer in the EU than the time allowed under ETIAS, you will have to move to the corresponding visa category according to the objectives of your stay.
