Travel to Europe - New Entry/Exit System (EES)

European Union member states have introduced a new Entry/Exit System (EES), which will be rolled out at all airports from April 10, 2026. Non-EU travellers should expect longer waiting times at border control points on both arrival and departure. We recommend arriving at the airport early and making your way to the boarding area promptly.

The EES system involves the collection of biometric data (fingerprints and/or facial photographs) from third-country nationals. For more information, please visit the official EES website You will be redirected to a new website. A new window will open. .
