Starting October 12, 2025, 29 European countries will roll out the new Entry/Exit System (EES), swapping traditional passport stamps for biometric data collection at borders.
Aimed at modernizing border control, speeding up entry, boosting security, and giving government control; the system will track travelers’ data electronically. However, this means no more physical stamps as trip mementos.
The change will cover much of Europe, including France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Switzerland, and more, marking a significant shift in travel documentation.
