Starting next year, Malaysian citizens must obtain an online authorization from the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) before travelling, if they wish to enter a European country, whether in the Schengen area or a member state of the European Union.
ETIAS is an electronic system used to conduct detailed security checks on each applicant to ensure that these immigrants do not pose a security threat.
The launch, originally scheduled for November this year, has been pushed back to 2024. The "EU Travel Information and Authorization System" will provide fast online authorization for citizens from more than 60 non-EU countries and regions that currently do not require a visa to enter the EU, including Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Macau, etc.
Whether for sightseeing, business travel, medical treatment, transit or transfer, an authorization document from the European Tourist Information and Authorization System is mandatory.
When traveling to a Schengen area country or EU country by plane, ship or ground transport, border agents will check whether your ETIAS is valid. If you do not apply for a valid ETIAS before traveling, you will not be able to travel to Schengen countries or EU countries.
The ETIAS fee is 7 Euros (approximately RM36) and is valid for 3 years. There is no fee for groups under 18 or over 70.
Under the authorization of ETIAS, Malaysians can stay in Europe for a maximum of 90 days within a period of 180 days.
According to the ETIAS website, Malaysians must hold ETIAS authorization documents to travel to the following countries or regions, namely Iceland, Belgium, Italy, Estonia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Croatia, Liechtenstein, Hungary, Cyprus, Greece, Germany, Latvia, Norway, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, France, Sweden, Poland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Romania, Finland, Portugal, Spain, Malta, Austria, Netherlands, Switzerland, Nagoya, San Marino and Vatican City.
从明年开始，马来西亚公民如果要入境欧洲国家，无论是申根区还是欧盟成员国，都必须在出行前获得“欧洲旅行信息和授权系统”（ETIAS）在线授权。
ETIAS是一套电子系统用于对每位申请者进行详细的安全检查，确保这些入境人员不构成安全威胁。
这项计划原定于今年11月推出，现已被推迟到2024年。“欧盟旅行信息及授权系统”将为来自目前不需要签证就可进入欧盟的60多个非欧盟国家和地区的公民，提供快速在线授权，包括马来西亚、新加坡、汶莱、英国、美国、澳洲、加拿大、韩国、日本、香港及澳门等。
无论是观光、商务旅行、医疗、过境或转机，都必须获得欧洲旅游信息和授权系统的授权文件。
在搭乘飞机、船舶或地面交通工具前往申根区国家或欧盟国家的时候，边境人员会审查您的ETIAS是否有效。如果出行之前没有申请到有效的ETIAS，将无法前往申根国家或欧盟国家。
ETIAS手续费为7欧元（约36令吉），有效期为3年。18岁以下或70岁以上的群体无需支付费用。
在ETIAS的授权下，马来西亚人可在180天内的期限内，在欧洲停留不超过90天。
根据ETIAS网站，大马人必须持有ETIAS授权文件才能前往以下国家或地区，分别是冰岛、比利时、意大利、爱沙尼亚、丹麦、保加利亚、克罗地亚、列支敦士登、匈牙利、塞浦路斯、希腊、德国、拉脱维亚、挪威、捷克、斯洛伐克、斯洛文尼亚、法国、瑞典、波兰、卢森堡、立陶宛、罗马尼亚、芬兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、马耳他、奥地利、荷兰、瑞士、纳哥、圣马力诺和梵蒂冈。
