The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new EU digital border system that will automatically record the entry and exit of non-EU nationals visiting the Schengen Area.
EES will replace manual passport stamping with biometric data: fingerprints and facial images. This data is stored securely for future border crossings.
For travelers, EES means your Schengen stay will be tracked automatically — making accurate calculation of your remaining days more important than ever.
The implementation date has been postponed multiple times. Check the official European Commission website for the most current timeline.
