Information campaign European Entry/Exit System (EES)
-
Starting October 12th 2025, Romania participates in the Entry/Exit System (EES), which is an automated IT system for the registration of non-EU nationals who travel for short stays, each time they cross the external borders of any of the following European countries using the system: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.
For the purpose of the EES, ‘non-EU national’ means a traveler not holding the nationality of any European Union country or the nationality of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.
‘Short stay’ means up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This period is calculated as a single period for all the European countries using the EES.
The system applies to you if you are a non-EU national who either needs a short-stay visa to travel to the European countries using the EES or does not need a visa to travel for a short stay in the European countries using the EES.
Your entries and exits, or entry refusals will be electronically registered in the EES.
Exemptions to registration in the EES apply to the categories of travelers herein -
