"As a frequent business traveler to Stockholm, I am used to the convenience of Global Entry in the US. This app brings that same level of efficiency to European travel. Scanning my passport chip and taking the selfie at home saved me so much stress at the gate. It is a must-have for anyone looking to breeze through border controls."

"Planning a family trip to Europe is stressful enough, so being able to pre-register everyone in our group on one phone was a game-changer. The step-by-step process is incredibly clear, and getting that confirmation before we even left the US gave me total peace of mind. A truly seamless experience!"

Description

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. To read more about whom the EES does not apply to and who cannot use the app visit https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/to-whom-does-ees-not-apply How do I use the app? 1.

Scan the personal details page and the chip of your passport; 4. Take a selfie to confirm your identity; 5. Answer a few questions about your travel plans; 6.
