🌍✈️ — Important Update for Non-EU Travellers!

🚨 Starting October 12, 2025, the European Entry/Exit System (EES) will come into effect — changing how non-EU nationals enter and exit participating European countries.

🧾 The EES will digitally record:

Data from your travel document

Travel dates

Biometric data (fingerprints & facial image)

This new system is designed to: ✅ Modernize border management across Europe
✅ Make border checks faster and more efficient
✅ Strengthen security and combat identity fraud, terrorism, and organized crime

📍 Note:
EES is not the same as the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) — ETIAS is a separate travel authorization launching in late 2026.

🔒 All personal data in the EES is protected under EU data protection rules. You retain certain rights to your information.

🌐 Learn more at https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees

🗺️ Participating countries include all Schengen Area members.
