Summary
The Schengen Entry/Exit System (EES), fully implemented in April 2026, replaces passport stamps with digital records for non-Schengen nationals. While entry and exit are electronically tracked, individuals have no visible proof of their legal stay, making self-recording essential. Crew members face risks such as re-entry refusal if they overstay. In practice, implementation varies by country, with inconsistent procedures and limited awareness among authorities creating confusion and challenges.
