New border control rules: Poland joins the EU Entry/Exit System (EES)
This law adapts Polish regulations to the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES), which automatically registers the travel of non-EU citizens crossing Schengen borders. The changes aim to shorten border control times, enhance security, and better protect travelers' personal data. For non-EU citizens, this means a requirement to provide biometric data, such as fingerprints and facial images.
Key points
Automatic registration at borders: The system will replace traditional passport stamping with electronic entry and exit records for non-EU travelers.
Biometric data collection: Non-EU travelers will have their fingerprints and facial scans taken when crossing the border.
Enhanced security: Services like the Police, Border Guard, and courts will have easier access to data to combat crime and terrorism.
Personal data protection: The President of the Personal Data Protection Office will oversee the system, and travelers will have the right to correct or delete their data.
Faster procedures: New technical solutions are designed to streamline border control and reduce waiting times.
