The Sun’s Head of Travel Lisa Minot has warned that the EES will result in huge changes at the border for Brits.
“THE looming introduction of the long-delayed European Entry Exit System could lead to yet more pain for passengers leaving the UK.
“While airports across Europe have the space to add this additional process it is still going to add a huge amount of extra time to the customs checks.
“Although it will remove the need to have stamps in your passport, everything will still need to be checked either by a border officer or an e-gate.
“Where things could get really bad are at ports like Dover – where there are significant space constraints and multiple individuals will be travelling together in cars and coaches.
“Both Eurostar and Le Shuttle have invested millions in new facilities to process passengers but it is almost inevitable that the first few months of the system could lead to lengthy delays as we all get used to the new system.”
Lasting three years, the €7 waiver will allow entry to Europe, up to 90 days during an 180 day period.
While every traveller needs it, the ETIAS will be free for anyone under the age of 18 and over the age of 70.
