🚨🇪🇺 NO MORE PASSPORT STAMPS - EU TO SCAN YOUR FACE AND FINGERS FROM OCT 12
Starting October 12, the EU’s new border regime goes live: no more stamps, just biometrics.
UK travelers heading into Europe will now need to have their fingerprints and face scanned at airports, ports, and train stations. Refuse? No entry.
It’s called the Entry/Exit System (EES), and it’ll roll out over 6 months - fully in place by April 2026.
The upside? Faster future trips with e-gates and no paperwork.
The downside? Long queues expected, especially at places like Dover and the Eurotunnel.
Welcome to your 3-year digital travel record.
