UK passport holders face uncertainty regarding access to e-gates at EU airports this summer, with the European Commission indicating that travel will be restricted until the new Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) is implemented in October 2025. This scheme aims to enhance border security by gathering biometric data on certain travelers. The British government has acknowledged this timeline, stating that e-gate access will depend on the scheme's rollout. Following implementation, it is anticipated that member states will collaborate on providing e-gate access to UK citizens.
âThe EU is introducing this new entry and exit scheme so nothing is going to happen before that's in place, and that's not yet in place.â
âAfter that it's up to the member states. But this gives us the possibility, I'd say the probability, that people will be able to use the e-gates in future.â
