Europe’s Entry–Exit System (EES) Is Live: What Travelers Should Expect Now

After several delays, the EU’s Entry–Exit System (EES) launched 12 October. It introduces biometric border checks for all non-EU travelers entering the Schengen area.

What happens at the border
First trip after launch: You’ll register fingerprints and a facial image on arrival (visa-free travelers included).

Children under 12: Photo only; no fingerprints.

Later trips: Automated facial recognition should clear most travelers in under two minutes—no more manual passport stamps once fully deployed.

Where and when it applies
EES will replace passport stamping across 29 participating countries. Ireland and Cyprus are not part of EES.

The system is free for travelers and is slated to be fully operational by 10 April 2026 at international airports, major land borders, and seaports.
Rollout varies by country.

Prague is currently the largest hub running EES end-to-end, though reports note queues up to 90 minutes during the transition.
Why the EU is doing this?

L'Shana Tova – Warm Wishes from Summit Management Services
From all of us at Summit Management Services, we want to take a moment to wish you and your families a wonderful and peaceful Rosh Hashanah — a New Year filled with love, meaning, and renewal.

A Brief History:
Rosh Hashanah, which means “Head of the Year,” is the Jewish New Year and marks the beginning of the High Holy Days. It is both a celebration and a time for reflection, dating back to biblical times. Traditionally, the holiday is observed with the sounding of the shofar (ram’s horn), festive meals featuring symbolic foods like apples dipped in honey, and prayers focused on renewal, forgiveness, and hope for the year ahead.
For those of you participating, may you enjoy these special days surrounded by family and friends, and may the year ahead be one of health, happiness, and success.
L'Shana Tova!

Warmly,
All of us at Summit Management Services
