- EU Entry/Exit System (EES) Live: As of April 10, 2026, the EES is fully operational in 29 Schengen countries, digitizing entry/exit records for non-EU nationals and replacing manual passport stamping with biometric data collection (facial image and fingerprints).
- Purpose and Impact: The EES aims to modernize border management and enforce the “90 days in 180” rule more effectively for short stays by non-EU nationals.
- Initial Disruptions: The system’s launch has caused significant delays at major airports, leading to missed flights and extended queues, posing risks for businesses relying on timely international travel.
