The Entry/Exit System (EES) is Europe’s new border management system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of 29 European countries.
Starting from 12 October 2025, the 29 European countries using the EES will progressively roll out the system at their external borders over a period of six months. During this period, travellers’ data may not be collected at every border crossing point right away. Once the progressive rollout is complete, the EES will be fully operational at all external border crossing points.
