Where an application has been deemed admissible in accordance with Article 19, the Member State to which the third-country national concerned intends to travel may exceptionally issue a travel authorisation with limited territorial validity when that Member State considers it necessary on humanitarian grounds in accordance with its national law, for reasons of national interest or because of international obligations, notwithstanding the fact that: the manual processing pursuant to Article 26 is not yet completed; or a travel authorisation has been refused, annulled or revoked. Such authorisations will generally be valid only in the territory of the issuing Member State. However, they may also exceptionally be issued with a territorial validity covering more than one Member State, subject to the consent of each such Member State through their ETIAS National Units. Where an ETIAS National Unit is considering issuing a travel authorisation with limited territorial validity covering several Member States, that ETIAS National Unit of the Member State responsible shall consult those Member States. Where a travel authorisation with limited territorial validity has been requested or issued in the circumstances referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph of this paragraph, this shall not interrupt the manual processing of the application allowing issue of a travel authorisation without limited territorial validity.
