Een nieuw systeem, het Entry\/Exit System (EES)<\/strong>, wordt ingevoerd binnen het Schengengebied. Dit betekent nieuwe digitale grenscontroles. Het is belangrijk om te begrijpen wat dit voor u betekent, wat u moet doen wanneer u reist en hoe dit past binnen bredere veranderingen aan de Europese buitengrenzen.<\/p>\n In deze gids vindt u een overzicht van alles wat u moet weten over het EES, inclusief de gefaseerde invoering tot en met september 2026 en de gevolgen voor uw reis.<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”#what” button_text=”Wat is het Entry\/Exit System (EES)?” admin_label=”BUTTON – Read More” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _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” collapsed=”on” 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=”4.27.5″ _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=”4.27.5″ _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 \nHet Entry\/Exit System is een digitaal grenssysteem van de Europese Unie dat is ontworpen om de buitengrenzen van het Schengengebied te versterken. Het vervangt de handmatige paspoortstempels door geautomatiseerde controles waarbij wordt geregistreerd wanneer reizigers het Schengengebied binnenkomen en verlaten. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Vanaf 12 oktober 2025 worden in- en uitreizen van Britse staatsburgers en andere niet-EU-reizigers digitaal vastgelegd. In plaats van een stempel in het paspoort worden biometrische gegevens geregistreerd, zoals vingerafdrukken en een gezichtsopname, samen met de paspoortgegevens. Hierdoor ontstaat een beveiligde en geautomatiseerde registratie van uw reisbewegingen binnen en buiten de EU.<\/p>\n De meeste niet-EU-reizigers, waaronder Britse staatsburgers, moeten hun biometrische gegevens bij de grens registreren. Dit duurt doorgaans slechts enkele minuten en vereist geen actie vooraf. Het systeem wordt geleidelijk ingevoerd op luchthavens, zeehavens en andere grensovergangen tot september 2026. De ervaring kan in de beginfase per locatie verschillen.

It will replace manual passport stamping with automated checks, recording when travellers enter and leave the Schengen area.<\/p><\/blockquote> 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> 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 September 2026<\/strong>, so initial experiences may differ.<\/p> [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_blurb title=\"Who it Applies To\" use_icon=\"on\" font_icon=\"\uf5ab||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> Non-EU citizens and non-EU residents on short stays.
