EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson announced the official commencement date for the Entry/Exit System (EES) is Nov. 10, 2024.
Key Points:
Background: EES differs from the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), which will require travelers from the 63 countries currently approved to travel into the EU visa-free to register for a visa waiver before arriving in the Schengen area. The registration will cost €7 (free for travelers under 18 or over 70) and will last three years. ETIAS is expected to launch in 2025.
BAL Analysis: EES is intended to more easily identify travelers who have stayed in the EU longer than allowed, who do not have the right to enter the EU or who are involved in criminal or terrorist activity. It will not affect people traveling within the Schengen area; it only applies to third-country nationals as they enter the area.
