News India Live, Digital Desk: If you too are dreaming of visiting the Eiffel Tower of Paris or roaming in the streets of Italy, then this news is useful for you. The European Union (EU) has made a revolutionary change in its visa and entry rules. Now the process of entry and exit in Schengen countries is going to be completely digital. The biggest benefit of this will be given to those Indian tourists who often travel to Europe. Let us know what will happen to your passport stamping after the implementation of this new ‘Entry-Exit System’ (EES) and what things you will have to keep in mind. The hassle of stamping the passport is over, now there will be a digital record. Till now, whenever you entered any Schengen country, your passport was stamped manually. But now under the new EES (Entry-Exit System) of the EU, this process will become history. Now the record of your entry and exit will be recorded in an automated system. In this, the passenger’s name, passport details, fingerprints (biometrics) and facial photograph will be saved digitally. This will not only save time, but will also prevent infiltration through fake documents. What will Indian travelers have to do? According to the new rules, when Indian travelers enter the Schengen area for the first time after the implementation of this system, they will have to provide their biometric data at the border control. This includes facial scan and fingerprint. Once this data is fed into the system, you will not have to repeat the process again and again for the next three years. This system will keep an eye on those travelers who stay there even after the expiry of the visa period (overstayers), which will further strengthen the security system. Will this make it easier to get a visa? Experts believe that with the introduction of this digital system, visa processing can be speeded up. Since the data will already be present in the EU database, there will be less need for repeated verification. Although no major changes have been made in the basic process of visa application, passengers will now get a big relief from the long queues at border check posts. Now you will be able to enter your information through ‘self-service kiosk’ without any delay. Take special care of these things: Before leaving on a trip to Europe, ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months. Also, do not panic while giving your biometric data under the new system, as it is completely secure as per international standards. This system is mandatory for all non-EU citizens visiting Europe for a short period (up to 90 days).
