After previously being postponed from last year, the Entry/Exit System (EES), which would have non-EU citizens fingerprinted and photographed at crossings, has now been delayed until the end of 2023. With each subsequent trip to the EU, the fingerprints and photos acquired during the original visit will need to be verified.
The new European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), which the EU intends to introduce in November, will function in tandem with EES. All travellers without a visa must submit an approved ETIAS application before entering any of the 30 nations in Europe.
When it is put into practise, how will this affect the border coaches?
A travel authorization to enter the EU for nationals of non-EU countries who do not need a visa is required, and passengers must register their initial visit with the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). Their authorization is valid for three years after registration.
The delays brought on by such a system have been discussed by numerous organisations.
Travel schedules would be significantly impacted if a coach full of passengers were authenticating their ETIAS and each had to have their face and fingerprints taken. The passenger's passport would be checked against the entry information on each subsequent visit.
Coach companies that want to enter Europe will need to put mechanisms in place to make sure that every passenger has signed up for this system in advance. Once the EES is in place, they will also need to make sure that customers are informed of any delays.Marshall Motor Group Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
