Thanks - helps to identify and avoid the generic scammers who will appear when the system goes live.

I had to focus on the application fee aspect to see if it were payable upfront in all cases - and then refunded to those who qualify for the waiver.

If I've read it correctly, those -18 and 70+ will not be required to submit any payment in advance ?

That will help recognise the unauthorised sites.

No fee if 70 or older and under 18 

How does one achieve the "no fee" criteria of "70 or older and under 18"?

I don't see anything to suggest that the fee would be charged and then refunded, which would seem a cumbersome and unnecessary process:

How much does the ETIAS application cost?

When applying using this official ETIAS website, you will be charged a fee of EUR 7. Applicants who are under 18 or over 70 years of age are exempt from this payment. Also exempt are family members of EU citizens and family members of non-EU nationals who have right to move freely throughout the European Union.
