The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an EU-wide initiative designed to modernize the management of external Schengen borders. It automatically registers the personal data, biometric information (fingerprints and facial images), and travel details of non-EU citizens entering or leaving the Schengen Area for short stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. EES replaces traditional passport stamping with a digital system, improving accuracy in monitoring overstays and enhancing security. The system applies to travelers from visa-required and visa-exempt countries alike, though it does not affect EU citizens or long-term residents. Its introduction represents a key step toward the EU’s Smart Borders package.
