Entry/Exit System (EES)
Summer 2026 update: There will be no EES biometric capture at LeShuttle terminals in Folkestone or Calais during the summer holiday period. Customers can continue to travel through our terminals as normal.

What is the Entry/Exit System (EES)?

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new EU regulation that records the biometric data (fingerprints and facial image) along with border crossing details of non-EU nationals entering or leaving the Schengen Area.

When does it start?

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is overseen directly at the border by PAF (Police aux Frontières – the French border police) and is being introduced in phases, starting from 12th October. At LeShuttle, we are fully prepared for the implementation of EES. All the required infrastructure, our systems, our kiosks, as well as staffing on our side, are in place and ready to operate as soon as we receive the go ahead from the French authorities. We are currently awaiting confirmation from the French authorities of the date for the technical availability of their central system before this can be fully launched.

Who does it apply to?

Non-EU nationals, including British nationals travelling on short stays (up to 90 days within a 180 day period). EES has no impact on other travellers (details can be found here).

How will it work?

When arriving at an EU border, applicable travellers will have their fingerprints and facial image scanned, in addition to the usual passport checks.

How can I find out more?

More information can be on the official EES website.
