Sweden has expanded its digital passport control system to cover travelers from 74 visa-free countries.
This move helps enhance border security while also streamlining passenger processing at airports.
Citizens from countries like the USA, UK, Australia, Japan, and South Korea must now undergo automated passport checks.
The system uses facial recognition and biometric technology to validate traveler identities.
This initiative supports Sweden’s goal of maintaining secure, efficient Schengen borders.
Travelers from these countries must have biometric passports to pass through the automated gates.
Non-biometric passport holders must still use manual border control counters.
The system helps reduce wait times, especially during peak travel seasons.
Swedish authorities encourage travelers to check passport compatibility before travel.
The expansion aligns with the upcoming EU Entry/Exit System (EES), set to launch in 2025.
