The EES is a European Union system for digital registration of entry and exit data of third-country nationals, as well as refusal of entry data at the external borders of Member States. This system, defined by Regulation (EU) 2017/2226, replaces the manual stamping of travel documents with an automated data recording procedure.
Visit the
official EES website to find out more about the modernised system for crossing the EU borders and prepare for new travelling rules.
Apart from the EES, Croatia also plans to introduce the
National Facilitation Programme (NFP). This is a voluntary programme for third-country nationals frequently crossing the border who do not pose a security risk. NFP allows for faster and simpler border crossing as biometric imaging at border crossing points will no longer be required for repeated entries - the system compares the photo in the travel document against the one already stored in the EES.
