New European Entry/Exit System Now Fully Operational
4/7/2026
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is Europe’s new border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for short stays. It records each entry and exit at the external borders of 29 European countries.
The EES was progressively launched on 12 October 2025 and has been fully operational since 10 April 2026. Fully automated and digital, the system replaces traditional passport stamping across most of Europe.
