    Presumably the devil is in the hassle entailed in acquiring it, rather than the monetary price. ie a cost of time and effort rather than money

    Edit: also the entailed risk of not being approved, lack of transparency for any denials, etc

      The risk of not being approved isn’t changing. The difference is that you can now find out before you buy a plane ticket and arrive in the EU.

      • Really? Looks like it’s just another approval hoop on top of the preexisting:

        Arrival at border

        Holding a valid ETIAS authorization does not mean you are guaranteed entry to a country. You will still have to meet the entry conditions of the border police. If you do not meet those requirements, you will be refused entry.

          I mean, it’s possible you could be put on a terror list after getting your EITAS or you could murder someone on the way to the airport, so there’s never a guarantee that you’ll be allowed entry.
