The European Commission has confirmed that the EU Entry-Exit System (EES) will still launch on April 9, 2026, despite reports claiming the rollout had been delayed.
While all Schengen countries must have the system in place by that date, EU rules allow temporary flexibility after April 9, letting countries ease or pause checks to manage long lines during peak travel periods.
We recommend to all or our travelers to Europe, specifically to Schengen area, stay informed by visiting the following link:
