All American citizens traveling to the Schengen Area for short stays (up to 90 days) for tourism, business, transit, or medical reasons.
ETIAS is valid for three years or until the expiration of the passport it is linked to, whichever comes first.
Yes, ETIAS allows multiple entries into the Schengen Area, with each stay not exceeding 90 days in a 180-day period.
