The European Union (EU) released the ETIAS for citizens of Japan on May 31, 2018. The ETIAS is a new system that will allow people who are traveling to the EU and intend to stay there for more than 90 days to apply for an appropriate visa.
ETIAS is being implemented in order to streamline the visa application process and reduce the queues at the border. It replaces the current VFS (Visitor Visa Scheme) which was introduced in 2003 and was based on a points-based system.
ETIAS is valid for three years and can be extended once for a further three years. The visa can be used for tourism, business, study or parental purposes.

Conclusion
Austria has announced its intention to join the European Economic Area (EEA). This move will allow the country to fully participate in the EU’s single market and customs union, as well as benefit from the bloc’s €200 billion euro fund for economic development.
The ETIAS scheme, which stands for the “Entry-Exit Inspection System” will be introduced in order to facilitate travel and business entry and exit for nationals of Japan. Under the scheme, all travellers will need to provide their passport information, undergo a criminal background check and provide information on their health and finances. In addition, ETIAS applicants will need to provide proof of entitlement to stay in Austria for more than three months.
Austria has been a key supporter of Japan’s membership of the G7 group of leading industrialized nations, co-hosting the leaders’ summit in Salzburg last year. The country is also expected to take over the chairmanship of the United Nations Security Council for two years starting next month.
