Are you visiting Europe after 11th October 2025???
✈️🌍 Big Changes Are Coming to European Border Control in 2025! 🌍✈️
From 12 October 2025, the European Entry/Exit System (EES) will replace the old passport stamping process for Australians (and other non-EU travellers) visiting Europe’s Schengen Area.
📸 What’s New?
No more passport stamps – your entries and exits will be recorded digitally.
Quick biometric check – on your first trip after EES launches, you’ll have your fingerprint and/or facial scan taken at the border.
Faster future trips – your details will be stored for 3 years, so re-entry will be quicker next time!
Better rule tracking – the system will automatically keep track of your 90 days in 180 days allowance.
🚦 What It Means for You
Expect slightly longer queues at first as the new system rolls out, but in the long run, EES will make travel smoother, more secure, and easier to track.
💡 Travel Tip: If you’re planning a European holiday late 2025 or 2026, give yourself a little extra time at the border for the new checks—especially if it’s your first trip under the new system.
📅 Coming Soon: In late 2026, Australians will also need to apply for ETIAS (a quick online travel authorisation) before travelling.
Europe is waiting… and the new EES is just the start of your next adventure! 🌟
