Your right to appeal

Find out how to appeal against a decision related to your ETIAS travel authorisation or data protection rights.

ETIAS will start operations in the last quarter of 2026.
No action is required from travellers at this point.
The European Union will inform about the specific date for the start of ETIAS several months prior to its launch.

If your application for an ETIAS travel authorisation is refused, or if your ETIAS travel authorisation is revoked or annulled, you will receive an email indicating the grounds for the refusal and the authority that took the decision.

You have the right to appeal. The email will include information as to which European countries you should appeal to and describe the relevant procedure. Appeals are handled in accordance with the national law of those countries.

If your travel authorisation is revoked at your own request, it is not possible to appeal against the decision.
