Oct 7, 2026Germany— EES description changed: from Non-EU travellers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System at Schengen external borders: on the first crossing since the EES started, border officers take a facial photo and/or scan fingerprints. The EU says this can be quicker if you register some of your data in advance, at a self-service system or through a mobile app where one is available. to Non-EU travellers on short stays may need to register fingerprints and a photo in the EU Entry/Exit System at the Schengen border; on the first visit this may be at a special booth before the immigration desk. The UK Foreign Office says there is no cost for EES registration and nothing to do before you arrive at the border. (gov.uk )(opens in a new tab)
