Change in borders starting today: non-EU passengers now have 100% biometric collection

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 09:00

Starting today, Sunday, passengers traveling to Europe will face stricter border controls. The measure involves mandatory biometric collection at 100% for all travelers coming from outside the European Union.

Non-EU travelers will be subjected to this new biometric verification system when entering European space. This change represents a significant tightening of entry procedures on the continent.

The implementation of this new requirement comes in the context of strengthening security at European borders. The passengers affected by this change are those arriving from third countries to the European Union.

This measure changes the way migratory and tourist flows to Europe are controlled, making the entry process more detailed and time-consuming for non-European travelers.
