EU-LISA Update ?

During the EU-LISA update meeting on Jan. 24, 2024, participants learned about progress made towards full implementation of the Entry/Exit System (EES) and the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS). The exact date for entry into service will not be announced until after EU-LISA’s technical readiness declarations later in 2024. However, operators who are not yet registered – but who plan to enter Europe following the EES/ETIAS entry into service – should continue their registration process.
