Entry/Exit System
Planned European Union electronic system to replace passport stamps
The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a system of the European Union (EU) for the automatic electronic monitoring and recording of border crossings of third-country nationals at all border crossings of the Schengen Area. The system, operated by eu-LISA, became operational at all Schengen Area border checkpoints on 10 April 2026, at which point passport stamps were discontinued for entries to and exits from the Schengen Area.
