France ETIAS Requirements for Ukrainians

Following a rise in terrorist activity in Europe, travel authorities from the Schengen Zone have decided to implement a new process for pre-approved travel to Europe in the form of a visa-waiver system. The ETIAS, or European Travel Information Authority System, for France, will grant Ukranian passport holders a stay of up to 90 days within a period of 180 days inside of France and other Schengen Zone member states providing they submit a successful application to European authorities.

Whether Ukranian travelers are planning to visit France for travel and leisure or for business, the ETIAS for France will cover their needs and eliminate the necessity for visiting an embassy or consulate. The application process is straightforward and easy and will be completed entirely online. Along with ensuring that each traveler holds a valid passport, the application will obligate each traveler to provide certain personal details. Further information can be found below.

ETIAS France application from Ukrania

To receive the ETIAS for France, successful applicants will submit the online application along with a non-refundable application fee. The fee must be paid with a debit or credit card. The application should take only a few minutes to fill out and the turnaround time is often under 72 hours, in some cases it is only a matter of minutes. Once you have received your ETIAS for France, which will be sent via email, you must print out a hard copy and carry it with your passport to show to border officials upon arrival in France.

While it is true that the application process was designed to be quick and easy, it is important to double-check your responses to each section to ensure that they are truthful and accurate. Any discrepancies or incorrect information could be grounds for a denied or delayed visa-waiver.
