Tourists traveling to the EU are warned that next year they will face complete chaos due to new rules at the border. By the end of next year, the EU is preparing to introduce its new entry system, which will require non-EU citizens to scan four fingerprints and take a photo. The entry / exit system (EES) is due to be launched in May and will control citizens of non-EU countries entering the bloc.
Experts said the new rules were, after all, designed for airports, not land crossings.
Airports should be relatively easy to deal with the new rules, as passengers are subject to immigration control on foot individually.
