Important update: EU launches Entry/Exit System tomorrow

Starting tomorrow, October 12, 2025, the European Union (EU) will begin rolling out the Entry/Exit System (EES) – a new digital border management system that replaces traditional passport stamping with secure biometric records.

This modernization aims to make travel across Europe’s borders faster, more accurate, and more transparent for millions of visitors. Each time a non-EU traveler enters or exits the Schengen Area, their data will be recorded electronically, helping reduce manual errors and improve border efficiency.

The EES marks the first step in the EU’s larger plan to digitize and streamline international travel, working hand-in-hand with the upcoming European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS).

Whether you’re planning a business trip, a family holiday, or a study abroad program, it’s important to understand how these changes will affect your journey.”
