A new digital entry/exit system (EES) will be introduced in European countries from October 12, including in Estonia, which will register third-country nationals entering the Schengen area.
The new system will be introduced at all Estonian border crossing points, including the eastern border, ports and Tallinn Airport. It will not apply to Estonian or European Union citizens.
The new system digitally records the entries and exits of non-EU citizens travelling to countries that have joined the Schengen Agreement for a short stay.
When a third-country national crosses the border, their personal data, facial image and fingerprints will be collected at border control, and the exact time and place of entry or exit are recorded.
Entry bans are also recorded in the new system. The next time the person crosses the border, the system can be used to check whether they are entitled to enter the country and whether they have not exceeded the permitted length of stay.
