The change is that matters.
Still don't see any official report/site on it.

How much is the fee they're talking about on the website?

Just as Lucky - wrong title and shady website. Seems like some people grabbed domains matching "ETIAS" (Another one >https://etias.com) and it will be Yom Tov

Reminds me when Gov Cuomo from NY announced his twitter account before he created the account and some random person grabbed that account and started tweeting

Airport tax, exit tax and all other names......
Now it's a Evisa tax.

Wonder if the UK post Brexit will have the same process.

While it would be smart to have travelers vetted and asked whatever questions theyd like before travel adding fees and repeatedly asking questions is not beneficial.

I recently did the Turkish EVisa and entry was a Breeze.
Always praying for delayed baggage.

Just wondering what's your thoughts on ESTA

If it cuts the lines for immigration and they only do secondary then it might be worth for the idea of it  but not the money. Why charge more for an automated process.

Sounds like Spirit charging the “convenience fee” for online bookings instead of “shlepping to airport” and avoiding it ???

I'm shocked, from all the scary headlines about a new "visa" - TPG was the only one to get it right: "US citizens will soon need a new travel registration to enter Europe:"
