How to spot a copycat
Examples use the reserved .example names. They show patterns, not real sites, and each one is run through the checker above.
Not official: etias-application-online.example
Anyone can register a name that contains “ETIAS”. Only addresses that end in travel-europe.europa.eu or europa.eu are official for ETIAS.
Not official: official-etias-gov.example
A word that sounds official is not a government ending. Read the end of the address, not the start.
Not official: https://travel-europe.europa.eu.example.com/apply
Putting travel-europe.europa.eu in front of another domain doesn't make it official. The part right before the first single slash decides who owns the site: here, example.com.
Not official: https://travel-europe.europa.eu@example.com/apply
Everything before an @ in an address is a username, not the site. The browser opens the domain after it: here, example.com.

“ETIAS is currently not in operation and no applications for travel authorisations are collected at this point.”
