Europe’s Entry/Exit System (EES) records border information for eligible non-EU short-stay travelers entering participating countries. Passport details, a facial image, and fingerprints may be collected, subject to applicable exemptions. EES is separate from ETIAS, a travel authorization system for eligible visa-exempt visitors. Check the [official EU travel website](https://travel-europe.europa.eu/) for the requirements in effect on your travel dates. Other destinations, including the United Kingdom, have separate rules.
