The EU’s Entry-Exit System: Everything You Need to Know

Posted on September 24, 2025

Gone are the days when Brits could simply jump on a plane and head to Europe for some sun and sangria. A new timeline has now been announced for the introduction of the EU’s Entry/Exit System (EES). The post-Brexit system was supposed to launch in 2022, but was rescheduled for May 2023 and then pushed back again.

The EES is set to launch on 12th October 2025 and will affect the majority of British holidaymakers heading into Europe and the four Schengen countries – Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. The implementation will be phased over a six-month period, meaning until April 2026 you may encounter different border requirements at different borders where you enter and exit across the Schengen area. It is important to note, there is no charge for using the EES.
