Under Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, nationals of the countries in its Annex II are exempt from the visa requirement for stays of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period, and nationals of the countries in Annex I must hold a visa; the Schengen Visa Code sets the visa fee at EUR 90. The EU says ETIAS, the travel authorisation that will be required of visa-exempt nationals, is currently not in operation.
