Europe is one of those romantic and popular travel destinations. The history, the food, the culture is an amazing array for the senses. Starting in 2021, US citizens will need the authorization to travel to the Schengen area. The Schengen area includes 26 European countries that do not have internal borders.
Those countries are:
- Spain
- France
- Italy
- Germany
- Greece
- Poland
- Austria
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- Hungary
- Iceland
- Latvia
- Liechtenstein
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Netherlands
- Portugal

The authorization will cost $8 and be good for three years. "Completing the online application should not take more than 10 minutes with automatic approval being given in over 95% of cases," the European Commission said in a statement.
The authorization is not considered a visa and more than 60 countries are affected not just the United States.
The European Parliament approved the authorization in July citing security concerns.
