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.
$8, don’t break the bank on this one folks.
That’s quite the difference.
It’s the same, but in the US you have to add the sales tax ($2) and then tip at least 110%. That brings the total to $21.

It’s a ridiculously sad reality that life saving and life preserving healthcare here is a “luxury” that can crush people’s future security.
I think a lot things are actually cheaper here than in many European countries. Including paychecks.
Is that $21 or $21 plus some random tax when you get to the till because fuck you?
Not the price of the visa, but the visa itself is similar to the ones that Europeans have had to get for a long time.
Yep. Better cancel all my plans. $21 is just way too much.
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.
