Arriving travelers at the EU’s borders next year will be greeted with a sleek new system.
Electronic passport scanners are being put around the continent to verify the status of non-EU people, such as Britons, Americans, and Australians, in an effort to improve security.
The new Entry-Exit System (EES) will replace the present system of border guards stamping passports, which has been in the works since 2016.
Travelers who have used biometric scanners at airports will be familiar with the technology. However, unlike the existing ones, which just verify that the photo matches your face, the EES technology will determine how long you’re permitted to stay in the EU, among other things.
Visitors’ visa restrictions haven’t changed, thus the length of your stay will be recorded as 90 days maximum (under short stay rules) or whatever long your visa connected to your passport allows.
Non-EU nationals living in the Schengen Zone, on the other hand, are not required to adopt the new system. The European Commission informed The Local that “their personal data would not be logged in the Entry/Exit System.” “It is sufficient for holders of such documents to submit them to border guards in order to establish their status.”
The EES will only work on the EU’s external borders, such as for Americans flying into Italy or Brits crossing into France, and not between EU nations such as Italy and France.
