                So, why the “eventually” part? Buckle up because here’s where things get a little bumpy. While initially slated for a 2023 launch, ETIAS has hit a few unexpected potholes (think technical glitches and regulatory red tape) and is now cruising toward a November 2025 arrival. But before you ditch your Eurail pass in despair, let’s unpack the story behind the delay and what it means for your future European escapades.<\/p>\n
