Creator's Key Takeaways

It basically means longer cues. So when you arrive at your destination, there's going to be longer cues.

We're not going to be able to collect stamps anymore. Don't know people do that, but yeah, sometimes quite nice to look through your passport.

It's all designed to improve the border security within the EU and the neighboring countries and to reduce illegal migration.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow extra time when traveling through Dover, the Euro Tunnel, or Eurostar due to potential EES registration delays.
Check if your destination is within the Schengen area to see if EES affects you.

Drop them in the comments! JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, GOV.UK DOES NOT SPECIFY WHETHER ITS FERRIES OR CRUISES FROM DOVER THAT WILL BE AFFECTED. THERE IS SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY. THE WEBSITE STATES: "At some ports and international stations (Dover, Eurotunnel and St Pancras), there may be increased wait times while EES registration is completed before passengers leave the UK. ​If you are travelling through one of these stations, you should check with your travel operator to find out whether EES will affect your journey." #EUtravel #EES #Schengen #Europe2025 #TravelTips
