Travel News of the Month
ETIAS and EES Implementation: Starting in the second half of 2024, the European Union will introduce the Entry/Exit System (EES) for non-EU nationals traveling for short stays. This system will register the entry and exit of travelers in 29 European countries. Additionally, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) will come into effect in the first half of 2025, requiring visa-exempt travelers to obtain travel authorization before entering 30 European countries. 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 European countries using the system. This concerns travelers who require a short-stay visa and those who do not need a visa. Refusals of entry are also recorded in the system.
The main advantage of the EES is saving time. The EES replaces passport stamping and automates border control procedures, making traveling to European countries using the EES more efficient for the traveler.
The countries for this system include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
