International travellers and lorry drivers have been warned that they could face long delays at Dover and on the Eurostar when the new EU entry-exit system starts on Sunday.
Britons travelling to Europe will be subject to new entry checks, which require non-EU citizens to scan their passports and have their fingerprints and photograph taken. The new entry-exit system (EES) is being phased in over the next six months, with passengers required to register on arrival in the EU. Some border control checks will happen on UK soil.
