More time to get a European stamp on your passport. Biometric screening delayed.
Snap News
The EU's new biometric entry system for non-citizens, set to launch on Nov. 10, is officially on hold. Germany, France, and the Netherlands say their tech isn't ready yet.
So, travelers can breathe easy—no last-minute fingerprinting just yet!
The planned system would link your travel docs to your biometrics like fingerprints and facial scans, making border checks smoother.
Think of it as digital passport control, but the rollout needs some serious work.
The EU agency responsible for this tech, EU-Lisa, hasn't provided the necessary stability or functionality, causing the holdup.
Basically, they need to get their act together before anyone can start scanning!
While countries see the benefits of the EES, they're pushing for proper implementation, not a rushed job.
They want to make sure it's foolproof before welcoming travelers with open arms.
