Starting in 2021, Americans will need a visa to travel to EU
By Rafael Bernal - 03/08/19 12:54 PM EST
The European Union announced Friday it will require a visa for Americans traveling to Europe as of 2021.
U.S. nationals crossing the pond will need a passport and a credit or debit card to apply for a European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) permit that will allow them to visit Europe for less than 90 days.
Previously, Americans had been exempt from visa requirements when traveling to EU nations.
The ETIAS system is similar to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) system the United States uses for countries in the Visa Waiver Program, which covers all EU countries except for Cyprus, Poland, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania.
ETIAS and ESTA don't require consular interviews nor the same degree of background checks as regular visas, but do require a payment and registration prior to travel.

I wonder if tRump's negative EU attitude is what caused this to happen now.
