"The new system applies to all non-EU Nationals - that includes travellers from the UK - who travel to an EU country for up to 90 days, within a 180-day period."
"The automated process requires valid travel documents and will collect biometric data (such as fingerprints and facial images), as well as travellers' exact dates and places of entry and exit."
"The scheme is designed to identify suspected criminals, combat identity fraud and to police the limit on 90-day stays within a 180-day period."
"According to Simon Calder, travel expert at The Independent, France, Greece, Poland and Spain are among the destinations that are 'far from ready'."
The Entry/Exit System (EES) will be effective from April 10, applying to all non-EU nationals, including UK travelers. This automated system collects biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial images, along with entry and exit details. Despite its launch, some countries like France, Greece, Poland, and Spain are reportedly unprepared to process third-country nationals. The EES aims to combat identity fraud, identify criminals, and enforce the 90-day stay limit within a 180-day period for travelers.
