What travelers should know about Europe's new Entry/Exit System
The European Union's new Entry/Exit System (EES) aims to streamline border processing for travelers by requiring biometric data. While the system is designed to speed up immigration, travelers may still face delays, particularly at busy airports. Experts suggest that once the system is fully operational, it could lead to a more efficient travel experience.
- ▪The EES requires non-EU nationals to provide biometric data upon arrival in certain countries.
- ▪Wait times for processing can vary significantly depending on the airport and demand.
- ▪Some travelers have reported wait times of up to 3.5 hours at peak travel times due to the new system.
