Avertisment pentru turiști: Noul sistem de control al UE la frontiere triplează timpul de trecere prin controlul paşapoartelor

The EU's new Entry Exit System has significantly increased passport control times for British citizens, causing long wait times at airports. Fiumicino Airport in Rome reported that average processing time has risen from seven to twenty minutes. Ryanair has warned travelers to expect delays this summer. The system requires non-EU citizens to register biometric data upon entry and exit, leading to reported queues of several hours at various airports. Issues with the system have also been noted in Portugal, where technical problems have caused further delays. The European Commission stated that disruptions are generally limited across most airports.
