The EU fingerprint Check plans have been released and we have the details.
EU fingerprint Check
The EU will begin taking British travellers’ fingerprints and scanning their faces from next autumn, reports The Evening Standard.
The new Entry/Exit Scheme (EES) could reportedly come into force on October 6, 2024.
It was initially due to begin in 2022, then in 2023, as delays have occurred.
