From November 10, there will no longer be stamps in passports, we will pass

Albanians and citizens from countries that are not part of the Schengen zone, starting from November 10 of this year, will no longer receive entry or exit stamps at the border points of EU member states.

Starting from this date, physical passport stamps will be replaced by digital registration of travelers' data whenever they enter and exit the Schengen external borders, to ensure that they do not stay in the Schengen area for more than ninety days in any 180-day period.

Passengers will be required to present their fingerprints and face biometric scanning on their first pass. This information will be recorded in a digital file.

At subsequent crossings it will be possible to enter the borders of the Schengen area more quickly as the border guards managing this system will only require a biometric passport scan at one of the electronic self-service points if they exist at that border point for match the identity document with the registered biometric data.

If the biometric data is rejected by the electronic system at the border, the traveler will be denied entry to the territory of European countries. The new rules will require non-EU citizens to register online before they can travel for free.

The implementation of this identity control system is part of the measures aimed at making it more difficult for criminals or terrorists to enter the EU with fake passports. This system was supposed to be operational in 2022.

"We will know exactly who enters the Schengen area with a foreign passport. We will know if people stay too long, fighting irregular migration. And the entry/exit system will make it harder for criminals, terrorists or Russian spies to use fake passports, thanks to biometric identification: photos and fingerprints. There will be an immediate warning: this person is not who he says he is," said Ylva Johansson.

Many experts have expressed concern that biometric identity checks will lead to long queues at borders.

This development is separate from the upcoming launch of the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS), which will become operational in 2025 after several years of delay.

This new system will require visitors from non-Schengen countries to apply for authorization before traveling to 29 European countries and pay a fee of seven Euros once every three years or until your passport expires.

Travelers under 18 or over 70 will be exempt from the obligation to register in this system. Most applications will be approved within minutes, but some decisions may take 48 to 72 hours.
