The new EES scheme will be soft launched for 6 months starting in November (Image: Getty) It’s been eight years since the UK voted to leave the European Union , bringing with it many changes. Brexit has significantly affected the way we travel, work, study and do business in or with Europe. Now, after an anxious wait, the EU's new passport system has at last been given a definite start date.

From November 10, non-EU travellers entering EU countries, which includes British tourists, will face stricter border controls as the new Entry/Exit System (EES) is put in place. The EES will require non-EU citizens to scan their passports at self-service kiosks when entering and leaving countries that are part of the European Union . function loadOvpScript(){let el=document.
