🌐 The European Union’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) began its rollout, but only three countries were fully ready in the first week.
🚶♂️ Long queues — some lasting over three hours — were reported at major airports and land borders, including Brussels.
📷 The EES collects fingerprints and facial scans for all non-EU travelers entering or leaving the Schengen Zone.
⚙️ The slow rollout caused inconsistent experiences, with some borders processing smoothly while others faced chaos.
📋 The system automatically logs every entry and exit, replacing manual passport stamps.
🧭 Its goal is to tighten border security, identify overstays instantly, and modernize travel control.
😬 Travelers were advised to arrive earlier than usual to account for the extra time required at border checks.
🧳 Some airports temporarily increased staffing to manage crowds while adjusting to the new system.
💡 Officials expect the situation to stabilize as border agents become familiar with the technology.
✅ Despite early delays, the EES marks a major leap forward in digital border management across Europe.
