The European Union has officially launched the Entry/Exit System (EES) on October 12, 2025, marking a significant advancement in border security and immigration control within its member states. This new system is designed to replace traditional passport stamping by electronically recording the entry and exit of non-EU nationals crossing the external borders.

The EES aims to strengthen the EU’s border management by:

• Improving the accuracy and efficiency of tracking persons entering and leaving the Schengen Area.
• Reducing irregular migration and overstaying by maintaining up-to-date records.
• Facilitating faster processing and enhancing the security checks at border crossings.

This technological upgrade complements existing systems such as the Visa Information System (VIS) and the Schengen Information System (SIS), forming an integrated framework for managing external border security.

Member states are now equipped with a more reliable tool to safeguard borders, ensuring smooth and secure travel for legitimate travelers while preventing unauthorized stays and potential security threats.
