Europe Will Replace Passport Stamps With A Biometric Entry/Exit System Starting October 12, 2025
- Starting October 2025, travelers entering or leaving Europe will no longer get passport stamps.
- Instead, a new system called the Entry/Exit System (EES) will record details using fingerprints and facial scans.
- This biometric check will make travel safer and faster by reducing waiting times and mistakes.
- It will apply to visitors from outside the European Union, replacing the old way of tracking travel with passport stamps.
