Heads-up: new entry/exit system for third-country nationals

On 12 October 2025, a new digital Entry/Exit System (EES) will be introduced in the EU that applies to anyone travelling to or from Sweden and who is a third-country national.

In line with EU data protection rules, the Entry/Exit System will gradually record:

  • data from the travel document 
  • travel dates
  • biometric data

The purpose of the new system is, among other things, to make travel to the EU more efficient for travellers from third countries.
