A new system called the Entry\/Exit System (EES)<\/strong> will come into force across the Schengen area, introducing new digital checks at the border. Understanding what this means, what you need to do when travelling, and how it fits into wider EU border changes is essential for anyone planning a trip to Europe.<\/p>\n In this guide to the EES, we give a comprehensive overview of everything you need to know, from the stages of its introduction and how it will affect your travel.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#what” button_text=”What is the EES?” admin_label=”BUTTON – Read More” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” button_text_size=”2.3vh” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/General_social_carousel_2.png” title_text=”General_social_carousel_2″ url=”https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/eu-entryexit-system” url_new_window=”on” admin_label=”IMAGE – Gov.uk Infographic” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”76%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”SECTION – What is EES” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 0%|rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 100%” background_color_gradient_overlays_image=”on” background_image=”https:\/\/www.gdg.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/People-Overhead-Abstract-WEB.jpg” parallax=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ admin_label=”ROW – What is EES” module_id=”keyfindings” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”70%” max_width=”100vw” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0.51)” custom_padding=”2vh|2vw|2vh|2vw|true|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”HEADER – What is EES” module_id=”what” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_2_font_size=”4vh” header_2_font_size_tablet=”4vh” header_2_font_size_phone=”3vh” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”BODY – What is EES” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”1.86vh” custom_margin=”2.4%||2.4%||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n EES<\/strong> is the EU\u2019s Entry\/Exit System<\/strong>, a digital border system designed to strengthen the Schengen area\u2019s external borders. It will replace manual passport stamping with automated checks, recording when travellers enter and leave the Schengen area.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n From 12 October 2025<\/strong>, British citizens and other non-EU travellers will have their entry and exit recorded digitally. Instead of a border guard stamping your passport, the EES will capture biometric information such as fingerprints and a facial image<\/strong>, alongside your passport details. This will create a secure, automated record of when you enter and leave the EU.<\/p>\n Most non-EU citizens, including British travellers, will need to register their biometric details<\/strong> (fingerprints and a photo) at the border. Registration typically takes only a few minutes and requires no advance action<\/strong>. The system will be rolled out gradually across airports, seaports, and other border points until April 2026<\/strong>, so initial experiences may differ.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=”Who it Applies To” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” icon_placement=”left” image_icon_width=”14vh” content_max_width=”100vw” admin_label=”BLURB – Who it Applies To” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|700|||||||” header_text_align=”left” header_text_color=”#FFFFFF” header_font_size=”3vh” body_text_color=”#FFFFFF” body_font_size=”1.86vh” background_enable_color=”off” image_icon_custom_margin=”|1vw||0vw|false|false” image_icon_custom_padding=”3vh||||false|false” text_orientation=”left” background_layout=”dark” module_alignment=”left” custom_margin=”|0vw||0vw|false|true” custom_padding=”2vh|2vw|2vh|2vw|true|false” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” background__hover_enabled=”on|hover” background_color__hover=”rgba(91,140,177,0.47)” background_enable_color__hover=”on”]<\/p>\n Non-EU citizens and non-EU residents on short stays.
