- Links to a traveller’s passport;
- Involves your picture being taken and fingerprints scanned at passport control points;

What do I need to do?
In short, nothing. Because the EES is linked to your passport, it will take details – including your biometric data – upon arrival at passport control.
The difference from existing measures is that it will speed up the process of document checking, with all details being automated: manual stamping of passports will no longer be necessary. It also tightens security control, as it will be easier to identify travellers who shouldn’t be travelling.
