I’m confused, didn’t Americans need a VISA to visit European countries? They just jump into a plain and fly here with their passport and no questions asked?

If it’s like this I had no idea…

Yep. It's still the case, the title really isn't right.

Americans still get an automatic visa on arrival, they just have to fill out a form online for $8 first

Europeans do much the same coming to the US with ESTA

I bet they will still give you the visa if you don't fill out the form. They might make you fill it out in the airport on your phone or something though.

The airline might require this travel authorization at check-in, though.
