EU’s ETIAS travel authorisation delayed until 2026.

This year, the new Entry/Exit System (EES) for the EU and Schengen Zone will finally be launched. Coupled with this is the introduction of the ETIAS - the European Travel Information and Authorisation System - as part of the EU’s efforts to improve border security.

The ETIAS travel permit has been delayed yet again, however, until late 2026 with a transitional grace period.

Should the federal government pay back border states like Texas for money they independently spent on state-led border security and immigration enforcement efforts? Gov. Greg Abbott and several elected officials in the Lone Star State think so.

Gov. Greg Abbott is asking the federal government for more than $11 billion in reimbursements to Texas for the costs of border security operations and wall construction during the Biden administration.
