Updates & corrections
Last updated August 2026
This page lists material changes to RealRoute guides: entry rules, costs, seasons, and anything else that would change a trip decision. Typos and broken links are fixed in place and are not logged here.
The log starts on 25 August 2026. We do not backfill a history. If a page was wrong before this date and we have now fixed it, that fix appears as a row below.
How to read a row
Date is when we changed the page. Page is the URL we edited. Change is what a traveler needed to know. Source is the official or primary material we checked.
| Date | Page | What changed | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 Aug 2026 | Visa & entry requirements and destination guides | ETIAS is not in operation. The official EU site no longer names a last-quarter 2026 start date. It says the EU will announce the date several months before launch, and no applications are being collected. You do not need ETIAS to enter Schengen countries today. The UK ETA remains required. Destination, ranking, and home pages that still said "ETIAS late 2026" were aligned the same day. | Official ETIAS site (checked 25 Aug 2026) |
| 25 Aug 2026 | Iceland travel guide | Removed a €7 ETIAS fee. When ETIAS does go live the official expected fee is €20. ETIAS is not in operation today, so there is no fee to pay. | Official ETIAS site |
| 25 Aug 2026 | Entry checker | Published a passport × destination checker for US, UK, Canadian, and Australian travelers covering 23 destinations. Snapshot of the visa guide, not a government decision. | RealRoute visa guide, August 2026 |
How we correct things
A figure that changes the takeaway is corrected in the article, the review date on that page is updated, and a row is added here. We do not silently rewrite a number that mattered. The full process is in our editorial guidelines.
