Days before the introduction of extra red tape for British visitors to the European Union, officials are predicting hold-ups at airports. Yet an app that would allow travellers to pre-register for the entry-exit system (EES) is not yet available.
A six-month roll-out of the entry-exit system begins on Sunday 12 October. From that date, third-country nationals, including UK passport holders, may be asked for fingerprints and facial biometrics when entering or leaving Schengen area nations.
