Traveling to Europe may look a little different this summer.

The European Union’s new Entry/Exit System is now in place for many non-EU travelers, including Americans visiting participating Schengen Area countries.

The system replaces passport stamps with a digital process that records entry and exit information. Travelers may be asked to provide passport details, fingerprints, and a facial scan when arriving.

The rules for how long visitors can stay have not changed, but the process at some airports may take longer as travelers and border officials adjust to the new system.

Larger airports and major travel hubs may experience longer wait times, especially during peak travel periods.

For anyone heading to Europe, a little extra time at the airport could help make the arrival process smoother.
