"The EU's Entry Exit System will be a significant change for Brits travelling this Easter. Always check with your transport operator in case extra time may be needed, both for your return to the UK and travelling to the EU."
"The EES was put in place to strengthen border security and detect more easily visitors who overstay the limit of 90 days in a 180-day period."
"An EU official recently reported that 4,000 overstayers have been caught in the first months of its implementation."
The UK government has warned tourists about the full implementation of the EU's Entry/Exit border system, effective April 10, 2026. This system replaces manual passport stamping with digital records and requires facial scans and fingerprints for non-EU travelers. Although checks are expected to take a few minutes, longer waits may occur, especially for return journeys. Travelers are advised to follow their operator's guidance and allow extra time for border checks. The system aims to enhance border security and monitor overstayers more effectively.
