Confusion Reigns: UK Adults Unaware of EU’s New Entry/Exit System (EES)

In October, the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES) will be implemented, requiring UK travelers to submit fingerprints and facial scans. However, a shocking 66% of UK adults are unaware of this new system, while 22% may avoid traveling to Europe due to it. The EES aims to replace manual passport stamping with a digital border, easing subsequent travel, but the image capture requirement has raised concerns, with 46% disapproving of their details being stored for up to three years. Travel experts warn of potential delays at ports and terminals due to the new process and urge travelers to be aware of the changes.
