Travellers can expect information campaigns and awareness-raising activities at border crossing points.

A date for the start of the EU’s long-delayed Entry/Exit System (EES) has finally been announced.

Officials have said that Europe’s new digital border system for non-EU nationals will be rolled out beginning on 12 October this year.

The EES will be a registration system for UK, US and other non-EU travellers.

Travellers will need to scan their passports or other travel documents at a self-service kiosk each time they cross an EU external border. It will not apply to legal EU citizens or residents or those with long-stay visas. (Euronews)
