Travel to Europe: new Entry/Exit System (EES)

Who will be registered in the EES?
Non-EU nationals travelling to the European countries using the EES for a short stay (up to 90 days within a 180-day period), will be registered in the EES. Travellers’ data will be registered in the EES, regardless of whether they need a short-stay visa or they are visa-free travellers. Certain travellers are exempt from registration (see the section on ‘Exemptions’). Refusals of entry are also recorded in the system. The EES will not introduce any new requirements for people able to freely move
throughout Europe.

Which data are collected by the EES?
• Personal data from the travel document, such as full name, date of birth, nationality;
• Date and place of each entry to and exit from the 29 European countries using the EES;
• Biometric data such as facial image and/or fingerprints;
• Information on refused entry, if applicable.
