UK government warns tourists of potential border delays due to EU Entry/Exit System commencing in October.

The UK government warns UK tourists and holidaymakers of potential border delays as the new European Union Entry/Exit System (EES) requiring biometric data from non-EU citizens, including the UK, commences in October. The system, which removes the need for manual passport stamps, is expected to cause longer queues at airports, ports, and the Eurostar rail line. The Home Office plans to increase the presence of French border officials at the Port of Dover and collaborate with the French government to streamline checks.
