Planning a trip to the Schengen Area as a non-EU citizen (e.g., from Serbia or the Western Balkans)? Here’s the lowdown on EES and ETIAS—two systems affecting your travel:
- EES (Entry/Exit System) π
- Starts: November 10, 2024
- Cost: FREE
- What: Automatically tracks entries/exits with biometrics (fingerprints, facial image) at borders, replacing passport stamps.
- Key Feature: Monitors your 90-day stay limit in 180 days.
- How: Register via app/website or at border kiosks. Data valid for 3 years.
- When you use it: At the border, starting Nov 2024. No pre-application needed.
- ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System) π
- Starts: Late 2026 (TBD)
- Cost: €7 (free for under 18 or over 70)
- What: Pre-travel authorization for visa-exempt travelers. Valid for 3 years or until passport expires, allowing multiple 90-day stays.
- Key Feature: Security pre-screening before you board.
- How: Apply online via etias.europa.eu (launching closer to 2026).
- When you use it: Before travel, starting late 2026.
Key Difference π
- EES is a free, automatic border system to track your stay.
- ETIAS is a paid, pre-travel permit for security clearance.
- Timeline: EES starts Nov 2024; ETIAS starts late 2026. From late 2026, you’ll need both (ETIAS before travel, EES at the border).
No price hikes confirmed for ETIAS’s €7 fee—ignore rumors and check travel-europe.europa.eu for updates. Safe travels! π’
