Changes in the rules for entering the EU

From November 10, the rules for entering the EU are changing: how to pass passport control

The European Union is changing the rules for crossing the border to enter Schengen countries. The innovations will apply to all non-EU citizens, including Ukrainians.

From November 10, the EES system will be operational at the borders of the EU. Now, instead of stamps in the passport, there will be a scan of the face and fingerprints.

The main innovations:
▪️registration will take place automatically through self-service terminals;

▪️during the first entry, fingerprints and a photo of the face will be taken instead of stamps;

▪️biometric data will be stored for 3 years, it is not necessary to submit them again.
