Tunisian Travelers Face New EU Airport Rules
The new European Entry and Exit System for the Schengen Area imposes biometric procedures on travelers from outside the European Union, leading to increased waiting times at borders, especially during peak summer periods. According to a study, wait times at major airports such as Frankfurt and Amsterdam have reached around 120 minutes due to a shortage of equipment and staff, delays in some flights, and the longer time required to collect biometric data compared to traditional stamping procedures. Although the current mechanism allows for a temporary suspension of the system during peak travel times, this exemption will end in September, with warnings that disruptions may persist. This situation particularly affects Tunisian travelers, who will need to allocate extra time for biometric registration processes, especially during the summer season. While the European Commission views the system as enhancing the accuracy and security of border control, some countries are calling for a temporary extension of the measure to prevent further disruptions.
