EU Activates New Biometric Entry System for Schengen Borders

The European Union has launched the Entry/Exit System (EES), replacing passport stamps with digital records and mandating biometric identification for non-EU travelers entering Schengen zone countries.

The new digital system will register entry and exit data for visa-exempt and short-stay travelers. Starting June 2025, visitors will need to provide fingerprints and facial scans at border control points. catcross.org
