Travellers could soon be required to give their fingerprints when travelling to Europe
British passport holders have been given a nine-month warning which could affect their travel and change how the entire process of going on holiday works.
Since Brexit, UK tourists have had their passports stamped when they enter or exit the Schengen Area. The stamping was often used to nail passengers who overstayed their visas, reports Birmingham Live.However, an automated entry and exit system will now be used to digitally register non-EU visitors.
Each time a person crosses an EU external border, the system will register their name, type of travel document, biometric data and the date and place of entry and exit. It will also record refusals of entry.
