EES at the Border with Poland: What to Expect for Ukrainians and How to Prepare.

Complications at the Ukrainian-Polish Border

According to inkorr.com: Complications at the border between Ukraine and Poland are expected due to the introduction of a new digital system for entry and exit. The EES (European Entry/Exit System) will allow for the recording of data on border crossings in the Schengen area without the use of passport stamps.

The first implementation of the new system will involve photographing and fingerprinting. With the automation of control, an increase in the efficiency of border guards and improved efforts against illegal migration is anticipated.

When planning a trip to Poland, it's important to consider the potential increase in waiting time at the border and to choose less busy routes. The Polish and Ukrainian border services are actively cooperating to ensure safe and stable border crossings. The new rules governing the crossing of the EU's external borders include the automation of biometric data processing for third country nationals, including Ukrainians.

The introduction of the new EES system aims to enhance border control; however, travelers should be prepared for possible delays. Border guards promise that cooperation between states will help reduce inconveniences for travelers. It is important to follow the news and plan trips in advance to avoid unforeseen delays at the border.
