Travel to Europe App-Analysen für 27. Januar

Speed up your border check with the Travel to Europe app. Developed by the European Union, Travel to Europe allows you to pre-register your personal information for the Entry/Exit System (EES) in advance. Currently, you can use the Travel to Europe app when entering Sweden, where it supports passport data, facial image and entry questionnaire. The other European countries using the EES may make the app available later. The specific functionalities offered may also vary from country to country. Secure and simple to use, pre-registration with the app can be done within 72 hours before arriving in or leaving a European country using the EES. Who can use the app? You can use the app if you are a non-EU national travelling for a short stay to a European country using the EES, provided that you have: • A biometric passport • NFC (Near-Field Communication) functionality, in order to read the passport’s chip • A frontal camera for the selfie capture You cannot use the app if you hold a residence permit or a long-stay visa issued by a European country using the EES.
