Britons travelling to Europe told not to apply for delayed Etias visa waiver

The UK travel association ABTA warned British tourists heading to Europe not to seek delayed ETIAS visa waivers from third‑party sites. More than 150 websites claim they can secure entry to the Schengen area, but the service is not official and may be fraudulent. Travelers are urged to apply for the EU travel authorisation directly through the legitimate online portal.
