Do Macedonian citizens need an Italy ETIAS?

Macedonian citizens currently have the benefit of visa-free entry into Italy and other European countries, making their travels more convenient.

However, there's a significant change ahead. From mid-2025, Macedonian travelers will have to apply for an Italy ETIAS for short-term visits to Italy, including tourism, business, or transit.

The European Travel Information and Authorization System, commonly referred to as the ETIAS, was introduced in 2016. The main aim of the ETIAS is to boost security within the Schengen Zone. Until now, Macedonian citizens and others from visa-exempt nations could travel to these areas simply with their passports. The ETIAS brings in an additional layer of pre-travel screening to enhance overall safety.

It's crucial to note that the ETIAS is not a visa. Rather, it's a travel authorization, similar to the US ESTA and the Canada eTA, designed to maintain security while also making travel more manageable.

A major benefit of the Italy ETIAS is that it covers multiple countries. With just one ETIAS authorization, Macedonian citizens can enter all countries that are part of the ETIAS agreement. This is especially useful for those planning to visit several European destinations, as it simplifies your travel arrangements. The ETIAS becomes your single authorization for diverse European journeys.
