The new Entry/Exit System (EES) will start operations on 12 October 2025.
European countries, which will use EES, will introduce the system gradually at their external borders. This means that data collection will be gradually introduced at border crossing points with full implementation by 10 April 2026.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals traveling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of any of the European countries using the system.
Watch the video explainer showing how border crossing with this system will work.
