With a phased roll-out\u00a0taking place\u00a0until April 2026, we\u2019re advising motorists to check the official requirements\u00a0at the UK departure point\u00a0they\u2019re using before they set off, as these will differ from place to place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__6o_o7\">&#8220;Drivers should be prepared for checks to take slightly longer and for entry points to be busier during the roll-out phase, especially\u00a0during\u00a0peak seasons like half term or Christmas. The digital\u00a0EES\u00a0record is valid for three years, so if your pass is still valid only a fingerprint or photo will be required at border checks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"styles_paragraph__6o_o7\">For official advice, travellers should visit <a class=\"styles_link__4YAiu\" href=\"https:\/\/gov.uk\/entry-exit-system\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">gov.uk\/entry-exit-system<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image: Department for Transport As the EU&#8217;s new Entry-Exit System begins a phased rollout at European border points,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":492483,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,4],"tags":[748,393,4884,1144,712,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-492482","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-uk","8":"category-united-kingdom","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-northern-ireland","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115358836057168313","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492482","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=492482"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/492482\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/492483"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=492482"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=492482"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=492482"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
