New Border Management System
A new border management system, the Entry/Exit system, is coming soon to make travelling to Europe easier and more efficient.
The new Entry/Exit system will enhance the security of Europe's borders and security in Europe in general.
To learn more about the system, you can go to the EES website.
The EES will:
» Modernise and improve border management
with secure and reliable electronic records by enabling automation at the borders.
» Improve the experience for travellers and
gradually reduce waiting times thanks to
automated border checks.
» Prevent irregular immigration, by identifying
overstayers and providing reliable data on
entries, exits, and refusals of entry.
» Strengthen the Schengen area’s internal
security by preventing identity and document
fraud thanks to the use of biometric data, and
by supporting law enforcement authorities to
prevent, detect, and investigate terrorism and
other serious crimes.
