What annoys me the most about these "electronic travel authorizations" is the dishonesty in their name. Call it what they are: #VISAS! The USA started this trend, already in 2009, and since then everyone copies it: Canada, Australia (they do call them visas 👏🏼) and now the UK. The EU will arrive late to the party and it's also using euphemisms... it's a visa, an e-Visa if you want, but still a visa. Visa free travel is rapidly coming to an end.

 @ba1a6878 it's paid Visas. They could as well charge cash on arrival, as it used to be in some countries.
