EES Travel Scheme FAQs

1 Do all travellers need an EES travel pass?

Yes, all non-EU nationals travelling to Schengen countries for short stays will need a valid EES travel pass from 12 October 2025. EU citizens do not need an EES for entry, but should follow any additional border requirements as advised.

2 How do EES checks affect my ferry journey?

When travelling with P&O Ferries, EES travel rules mean non-EU passengers will undergo biometric checks. On the Dover-Calais route, this occurs before departure in Dover, whereas on the Hull-Rotterdam route, it happens upon arrival. Passengers should allow extra time when planning their journey, especially since the scheme has just launched, as it may take longer than usual.

3 How long is my EES travel registration valid?

Once registered, your EES travel pass is valid for up to three years. For future trips to Europe during this period, you will only need a quick fingerprint or photo check, making subsequent travel faster and simpler.
