Moroccan travelers: changes to expect for your trips to Europe

The European Union is preparing to revolutionize the control of its external borders with the launch of the Entry/Exit System (EES) planned for 2025. This digital device, which will replace the current manual stamping system passports, aims to automatically record the information of travelers coming from third countries to the Schengen area, including Moroccan nationals.

Concretely, the EES will collect biometric data such as fingerprints and facial photos, as well as information on the traveler’s identity and travel history within the European Union. This system will concern both travelers subject to the visa requirement and those who are exempt.
