The European Union is revolutionizing passport checks with the new Entry/Exit System. This system will use biometric data to securely verify the identities of travelers.

This new application will start on October 12, 2025, and will be valid in 29 countries in the Schengen area. The era of passport stamping will end, and all processes will be conducted digitally.

EU officials state that this system will enhance security and improve the travel experience. However, they warn of potential long queues and technical issues during the initial implementation.

It remains to be seen how these changes will impact collaborations with the United Nations. Making international travel safer could also influence UN migration policies.

With the implementation of the new system, the entry and exit of visitors from non-EU countries will be monitored more strictly. This could help prevent illegal crossings.
