🌍✈️ Big news for European travel!
Starting October 2025, the EU is rolling out the new Entry/Exit System (EES) replacing passport stamps with digital scans and biometric checks. This means faster, more secure border crossings for non-EU travellers (including UK visitors 🇬🇧).
💡 What to expect:
• Your passport will be scanned, and a photo + fingerprints taken on your first entry.
• Future trips will be quicker — just a scan and go!
• Expect minor delays at some borders during the rollout.
• The full system should be active by April 2026.
👣 Travel tip from Amelia Iris Travel:
Check your passport validity, allow a little extra time at the airport, and keep an eye out for the upcoming ETIAS travel authorisation (coming soon!).
