The European Union has begun enforcing new border checks for British citizens entering EU countries this Easter under the Entry/Exit System (EES). These checks include biometric data collection and digital processing to improve border security and migration management. British travelers should expect longer processing times and must comply with the new procedures when crossing EU borders. The UK has also increased its Easter border security with new high-tech passport stamps.
