LONDON, Oct 8 (Reuters) - How all non-European Union citizens, including British visitors, travel to and from the bloc will start to change from Sunday when its long-delayed new biometric entry-check system starts operations.
The Entry/Exit System (EES) will require all non-EU citizens to register their personal details, including fingerprints and facial images, when they first enter the Schengen area - all EU nations apart from Ireland and Cyprus, plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein.
The new electronic system will remove the requirement to manually stamp passports at the EU’s external border and instead create digital records that link a travel document to a person’s identity using biometrics.
The EU wants to modernise the management of its external borders, prevent illegal migration, combat identity fraud, and identify overstayers. It will monitor whether people who are travelling to the bloc without a visa are sticking to its up-to-90 days stay within any 180-day period rule.

For now it’s probably less able to be falsified than documents, but eventually they’ll be able to hack it too.
FINGERPRINT THIS!!! Says the Muzzie as he tromps or floats in.
These guys will give Sperm samples
You are right! Comedy gold!
Well, not by choice. Tried to log into IRS but it requires a picture and questionnaire (biometrics)so, snail mail it is. Even though I already have “IDme” to get into my VA stuff.... It’s like they have all your stuff already.
All run by private korporations funded by...
Thoughts?
So thankful we visited Europe when it still had a strand of sanity ... before this biometric AND *refugee* infiltration NONSENSE.
The EU is full of “No Name Given” ,LOL
Venice Italy now has a cover charge.....WHAT!?

Not much but still.....it’s the principle.
Good luck with that, EU/Italy.
I’ll spend my $$ in America First :-)
Typical of the Left, they first create a problem which then requires one of their big brother solutions.
They opened the EU up with the Schengen “Immigration Reforms”, which in the guise of making travel and movement within the EU “easier” for “citizens” of the EU, which also made it possible for anyone who simply lands on EU soil anywhere to freely travel/move anywhere in the EU. Then they insisted on taking in all the Middle East “refugees”.
Ahhh, now they “need” a biometric system to identify and keep watch on EVERYONE.
Travelers all guilty until they prove otherwise
Aka new world
Then I saw Global Entry. My GE had expired but I renewed it a month earlier, but hadn’t activated the card because I didn’t have that code being overseas when it arrived. I noticed my online United boarding pass was marked TSA Pre, so I thought I’d try GE.
I stood in front of the camera and didn’t even need to scan my passport. As the display said, I walked to agent — again, no line — where he looked at his screen and said “Welcome [first name] and [wife’s first name].”
It was NICE. I wanted to do a happy dance after missing that line, and my GE unexpectedly working.
As a side note, we had a layover in Houston 12:30AM to 7:22AM. It wasn’t bad as the airport was empty, we were still on European time (8:30AM to 3:22PM), there were couch-like seats for laying down, and I even walked 15,000 steps before boarding the plane.
Bruh....
[US travel visas require biometrics, which include a digital photograph and ten-fingerprint scans taken during the visa application process. This is a security measure to verify identity and is part of the application process before a visa is issued. For travelers under the Visa Waiver Program, an ESTA is required and biometrics are not collected, though some VWP travelers must still apply for a visa]
It’s part of our reciprocity agreements with the EU not some grand conspiracy.

That sounds like a long line to get into Europe.
I never thought it was worth it as it was. This makes it even worse.
