The European Union’s upcoming Entry/Exit System (EES) is set to launch in November 2024, aiming to streamline border crossings and enhance security. However, there’s positive news for non-EU citizens holding long-stay visas!
Long-Stay Visa Holders Exempt from EES Registration:
- Traveling with a long-stay visa? You won’t need to register with the Entry/Exit System.
- No Pre-Registration Hassle: Unlike visa-free travelers or short-stay visa holders, you can avoid pre-registration procedures.
- Dedicated “Non-EU Citizen Queues”: While exempt from EES registration, you might still need to wait in designated “non-EU citizen queues” at border control points like ports.
What This Means for You:
- Smoother Travel: This exemption saves you time and avoids potential delays associated with EES registration.
- Essential Preparations: Ensure your long-stay visa is valid for your travel and have all necessary documents like travel insurance and proof of onward travel ready.
- Check Border Wait Times: Use online resources to estimate wait times at your chosen port of entry.
In Summary:
Traveling with a long-stay visa in Normandy just got easier! While you might still encounter separate queues, you’re now exempt from the Entry/Exit System registration process. Stay updated on any further developments closer to the EES launch date for a seamless travel experience.
