Entry/Exit System
Planned European Union electronic system to replace passport stamps
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a large-scale IT system of the European Union for the automatic monitoring of the border-crossing of third-country nationals (non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens). Envisioned to replace passport stamps, the system will be installed at the external border crossing points of the Schengen Area, e.g. airports and seaports. As of July 2022, EES was scheduled to enter into operation at the end of May 2023, however this was later delayed to the end of 2023. After a further delay, EES is scheduled to enter operation in the second half of 2024.
