New border control system in the EU from 12 October 2025 – Entry/Exit System (EES)
Last updated 13 March 2026
On 12 October 2025, a new European border control system came into operation: the Entry/Exit System (EES).
This system is intended for citizens of countries outside the European Union who are travelling to the Schengen area for short stays.
It is being implemented gradually at the various points of entry.
With the entry into force of the EES, biometric checks and digital registration are being introduced, so it is recommended that you allow a little extra time at border crossings.
If you would like to know more about the EES, you can consult the official website of the European Union and the official website of the Ministry of the Interior.
