Starting today, travellers from non-EU countries, including India, must comply with the European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES). The system requires fingerprinting, facial scans, and passport scans upon entry into Schengen Zone countries, including Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. Ireland and Cyprus are exempt.
The EES aims to tighten security and replace manual passport stamping with digital records. At UK departure points like Dover, Eurotunnel at Folkestone and Eurostar, checks will occur before travellers leave the UK. The system is being phased in gradually.
