The Entry Exit System (EES), which requires non-EU citizens to register at the EU border by scanning their passport and having their fingerprints and photograph taken, went live at some European airports on October 12 as part of a phased introduction over the next six months.
The EU has introduced EES to replace passport stamping for all non-EU citizens. The new system is designed to help track compliance with the 90-day visa-free travel rule and strengthen border controls.
