The Entry/Exit System — the most modern IT border system in the world — is now fully deployed.
The EES is changing what border management actually looks like.
Passport stamps are becoming a thing of the past — replaced by a digital system that keeps accurate records of who enters and exits the EU. For travellers, that means shorter queues, self-service kiosks, and the option to share your details before you even arrive.
For border officers, it means better tools — biometric data that flags overstayers, catches fake identities, and helps law enforcement connect the dots on serious crime and terrorism.
Safe borders. Smoother travel. That’s what modern travel looks like.
