Lately, spending a long weekend in Paris or Barcelona has become just as commonplace as taking a jaunt Upstate. While you can fly to many European cities faster than it would take to travel across the country, you can expect a bit more paperwork and an additional cost to visit EU nations soon. Before you freak out over your upcoming European trip, know that this hasn’t gone into effect *yet* and the application process for the new visa, which was originally supposed to open last September, is likely not going to begin until 2025.
