Dreaded new border entry for Brits travelling to Europe will start in under THREE MONTHS – and the price has trebled

A SET date has been announced for the introduction of the new EU entry-exit system. The Advertisement 4 The EU's entry-exit system (EES) is now set to start on October 12, 2025 Credit: Getty 4 EES will help to identify any suspected criminals and to limit travellers to 90 days of stays, in any 180 day period Credit: Getty This is likely to cause chaos for those travelling towards the end of the year as holidaymakers will need to have their biometrics and fingerprints registered. With the date finally announced for the scheme's introduction, some Brits heading away for the October half-term holidays may be required to give their fingerprints and facial biometrics. The scheme is being introduced to digitise border crossings across the EES will also help to identify any suspected criminals and to limit travellers to 90 days of stays, in any 180 day period. Advertisement Read more on travel tips Whilst the EU initially planned to introduce the scheme all at once, their website now confirms: " "This means your data may not be collected at every border crossing point right away." Therefore, between the initial start date of October 12 and the scheme's completed implementation date of April 9, 2026, travellers are likely to experience different processes at different borders. For example, at some crossing points travellers may need to give their biometrics - whilst at others, they may not need to straight away. Advertisement Most read in News Travel The website adds: "From 10 April 2026, the EES will be fully operational at all external border crossings of the European countries using the system." The New EU entry-exit system and EuropeTravel Visa (ETIAS) explained Once operational, the EES will store four of your fingerprints and your facial image. Currently, though, children under the age of 12 will not have their fingerprints scanned. In addition, Brits will also have their passports inspected and stamped until the roll-out is fully complete, according to Advertisement The EU has also confirmed that And now, the fee for this is expected to The travel authorisation will be an entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to 30 European countries. 4 The fee for ETIAS travel authorisation has also risen Credit: Alamy Advertisement It will be linked to a traveller's passport and be valid for up to three years or until the With ETIAS travel authorisation, Brits will be able to enter 30 European countries as often as they like for On the Those exempt from the fee include travellers under 18-years-old or over 70-years old. Advertisement The Sun's Head of Travel explains what the EES means for you THE Sun's Head of Travel Lisa Minot has explained everything you need to know about the upcoming EES. The looming introduction of the long-delayed European Entry Exit System could lead to yet more pain for passengers leaving the UK. The new system - designed to strengthen the European borders - will require every passenger to have their biometrics recorded. Every traveller will have to scan their passport and have a facial biometric before providing prints from the four fingers on their right hand. Children under 12 will have to do the biometric but will not have to have their fingerprints taken. All will then have to answer four questions about their reason for travel. Both fingerprints and facial biometrics will be required the first time a traveller uses the system, and then just one of the two for every subsequent trip. Then every three years you'll be expected to go through the full process again. While airports across Europe have the space to add this additional process it is still going to add a huge amount of extra time to the customs checks. Although it will remove the need to have stamps in your passport, everything will still need to be checked either by a border officer or an e-gate. Where things could get really bad are at ports like Dover - where there are significant space constraints and multiple individuals will be travelling together in cars and coaches. Both Eurostar and Le Shuttle have invested millions in new facilities to process passengers but it is almost inevitable that the first few months of the system could lead to lengthy delays as we all get used to the new system. Major new airport rules are also set to make travelling to Europe much easier. Plus, two UK airports have finally 4 EES will be rolled out gradually with a completion date of April 9, 2026 Credit: Alamy
