🚨🇪🇺 SMILE FOR THE CAMERA - THE EU WANTS YOUR PHOTO BEFORE THEY’LL LET YOU IN

Starting October 12, tourists from the US, UK, and other non-EU countries will be greeted at Europe’s borders with fingerprint scans, a headshot, and a pop quiz about their trip.

You’ll need to prove where you’re staying, show you’ve got enough cash, confirm you have medical insurance, and flash a return ticket - basically, the EU wants receipts for your entire vacation.

Say no to any question and you might get an upgrade to the “chat with a border officer” lounge.

By 2026, you’ll also have to pay €20 for travel authorisation just to enter the Schengen area.

Officials say it’s all about security, but it’s also about getting used to longer lines at your favorite European getaway.
