Travelers' Guide to Europe's ETIAS and EES
The European Union is implementing two new border systems for non-EU travelers: the fully operational Entry/Exit System (EES) and the delayed European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). The EES, which replaces passport stamps with biometric scans, has been in effect since April 10 and aims to streamline border checks and enhance security.
