"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."
"EES checks should take only a few minutes per person, although longer waits at border control are possible, including for journeys back to the UK."
"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."
The UK government has warned tourists about the full implementation of the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) around Easter. The EES replaces manual passport stamping with digital records and will be fully operational by April 10th, 2026. Non-EU travelers will have facial scans and fingerprints taken upon first entry, with smoother checks thereafter. The UK government emphasizes the need for travelers to allow extra time for border checks, especially for connections. The EES aims to enhance border security and track overstayers more effectively.
