Morocco travelers to Europe face stricter checks
Travelers from outside the European Union are facing increasing difficulties at European border crossings as the full implementation of the European Entry and Exit System (EES) begins. This has led to congestion and delays at airports and border points, with some airports such as Frankfurt and Amsterdam recording wait times of up to 120 minutes during the summer. This situation follows the end of the temporary relief period that had allowed for the suspension of biometric data collection, thereby increasing pressure on crossing points, especially during peak times. The European Commission has called for an extension of the suspension of alternative measures until the necessary technologies are in place and sufficient staff are available, although the system is generally functioning well. For Moroccan travelers, the EES applies when entering the Schengen area with a passport from outside the European Union and requires biometric data registration, so travelers should allocate extra time to avoid delays.
