Europe Implements New Entry And Exit System

Business FM Russia Brussels 17d11d Impact 7

The Schengen Zone has officially launched the automated Entry/Exit System (EES) across 29 countries to replace manual passport stamping. This transition marks a significant shift in how European border authorities process international arrivals. The system began operating on April 10 to replace traditional manual passport stamping. The system is designed for migration control to track the 90-day stay limit for third-country nationals. Travelers use kiosks to scan passports and capture biometric data, including facial photographs and fingerprints. Following the kiosk process, passengers proceed to a border officer for visa and purpose-of-visit verification. This system aims to enhance migration control by tracking entry and exit dates and locations. While initial implementation in large airports caused delays and missed flights, the situation is reportedly stabilizing.

The European Union has launched a new security application for passengers traveling to Europe via the Schengen Area. Under the new rules, mobile boarding passes that previously allowed for faster transit are temporarily disabled. Passengers must now have their boarding passes physically checked by airport staff to ensure security. The new program requires passengers to register at airport self-service kiosks by submitting fingerprints.
