From the 12th October 2025, the EU is introducing a new Entry/Exit System (EES) for all non-EU travellers visiting Europe for short stays. This applies whether you need a visa or can already visit visa-free for up to 90 days within any 180 days.
(Don't worry, it's nothing to lose sleep over)
In short, you might notice an extra step on arrival, but it won’t affect your travel plans too much. Just allow a little extra time and you’ll be on your way in arguably the greatest continent on the planet.
