New Entry/Exit System (EES)

LOOK HERE VIDEOStarting from 24 November 2025, the Border Guard at the Gdańsk Airport will keep records of people travelling to Poland from locations other than the following group of 29 countries: 25 member states of the European Union (excluding Cyprus and Ireland) plus Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. The EES will be used to keep records of citizens of third countries visiting European states covered by the said system for a short period (up to 90 days within a period of 180 days). Details of the travellers will be recorded in the EES regardless of the need for a short-term visa or as part of the visa-free regime. The system will also keep information about entry refusals. Ultimately, there will be no need to stamp passports. In case of persons who entered a country before the date of the launch of the EES system, they will be subject to a registration upon departure. The system will collect personal details found in travel documents, such as one’s name, surname, date of birth and citizenship. Biometric data will also be collected, including facial photographs and/or fingerprints. Moreover, the system will store dates and locations of each entry and departure in the 29 European countries using the EES. During the border check of persons already registered in the EES system, the Border Guard will also carry out an additional verification of one of biometric features by taking a facial photograph or collecting finger prints. The procedure will take place both at the arrival in and departure from the country.The EES will modernise border controls and gradually shorten the waiting time at border crossings. Implementation of the EES will allow for easy identification of citizens from outside the EU and the Schengen Area (excluding Cyprus and Ireland) who do not meet the conditions regarding entry and stay or who exceeded the stay period in the EU and the Schengen Area.Those 29 European countries that adopt the EES will gradually, for six months, implement the system in their internal borders. In the said period, collection of travellers’ data might initially take place only at some border crossings. Once the gradual implementation is complete, the EES system will function in full capacity at all external border crossings.European countries that will introduce the EES: Poland, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Spain, Iceland, the Netherlands, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Germany, Norway, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania, Switzerland, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, Latvia.
