Prospective visitors will need to complete an online application and a €7 fee will be required from those between ages 18 and 70.[11] The system is expected to process the vast majority of applications automatically by searching in electronic databases and provide an immediate response, but in some limited cases it may take up to 30 days.[12][3] If approved, the authorisation will be valid for three years or until the expiry date of the travel document if earlier.[2]
