Many airports already.Don’t see how you can do your fingerprints online beforehand if it’s to be secure?
I think it’s just been reported that first time you travel within Europe when introduced there will be an additional 5 mins to get the fingerprints first recorded - at least that’s what I’ve understood.
can’t say i routinely sail through many airport passport controls currently (or before Brexit) and can often recall few staff and seemingly surly staff perusing passports slowly.
Its up to the EU as to how they will implement not the UK.If the EU want it then it will need to be followed.
My last experience, a couple of months, ago was passing through Heraklion, Crete airport. I think they had 4 non-EU passport holder desks open at border control.
Assuming, say 180 passengers on my flight and your 5 minutes processing time, that's a total of 900 minutes in total, or 3.75 hours for each of us in the queue.
That's with just one flight landing. No idea what volume of flights pass through in July/August but I certainly won't be booking any flights until the implementation date is a lot clearer or until after it's bedded in.
Your "5 min" processing time sounds inconsequential in theory, but multiply that up by the number of passengers on a cruise for example, and that's a whole world of pain for what should be an enjoyable experience.Further as I said it’s down to implementation plans and undoubtedly it will be a pain. They can throw more resource it at to help for example.I don’t think anyone suggests it won’t be straightforward1 -

The automated eGates must completely dumfound them.
So naturally, when he gets sent to a border control official by the e-gates he is absolutely fuming, always makes me laugh remembering him swearing at the gates and heading to the border security queue0 -
If it really is like an ESTA then it will still mean queuing to see a border inspector.
I've done my share of EU travelling the past few years and haven't had any particularly long waits to be get into countries. Norway took longest, who operate under EU rules and even use the same passport stamp. That was probably an anomaly.
EU passport stamps will disappear after this. USA, AU and NZ have already got rid of them, which is particularly annoying after 24+ hours travelling.1 -

I don’t know what anybody is fussed about.
Despite the victory of the vote that the whole of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland should leave the European Union, it is possible for anybody to simply walk from the UK into the EU with no checks whatsoever.
Goodness knows what this ‘Brexit’ is that people keep mentioning, it certainly isn’t a manifestation of the intention of the vote that won in 2016.5 -

Worth noting, if you have booked your trip through a travel agent, it's intended that they will be able to apply for the ETIAS on your behalf (just proof of your acceptance is needed) through the official website.3

Removing freedom of movement has been very costly for the UK, over £35 million spent to 31 March 2024, to make the M20 ready for Operation Brock and every time it is implemented it costs £250,000.
Government has given £10.5 million to Port of Dover, Eurotunnel & Eurostar St. Pancras. Eurostar trains no longer serve Ashford International because of border checks. Eurotunnel has spent £70m to provide the booths that people will use for the biometric checks.

Seth, I should point out that from my own experience, most people outside of Northern Ireland didn't take into consideration the 'Northern Ireland protocol', it certainly wasn't on the ballot paper and probably backs up my point that people generally vote from a personal standpoint without deep consideration as to the ramifications of their standpoint and eventual voting intention. Then again, if you believe that Brexit has failed or at least not achieved it's supposed benefits to the country because Northern Ireland is being treated differently, then would you kindly put down those straws you've been clutching and wait for Nursey to bring round your meds.2

This thread was started by SHG, not me, others have alluded to the 2016 vote way before me.
If this thread had not have been initiated by another poster, with attendant perspectives I would not have posted my perspective, which is actually true.
Want to ban freedom of speech?
Indeed what I have written is reality, but the proposed border checks are yet to become reality.5 -

cafcfan said:The EES is supposed to be coming in before ETIAS. (The fingerprinting and facial recognition bit). All the shiny new machines were lined up still in their protective packaging at Lanzarote ACE airport last week. No where near ready. It was supposed to be 10 November but apparently France, Holland and Germany couldn't get their act together. No new date has been announced. As for ETIAS, it was supposed to be launched in 2020,then 2022, 2023 and 2024. So I wouldn't hold my breath.
If the application process is anywhere near the same as the US ESTA, it will be very straightforward. (They don't even ask you if you are a member of the Nazi party anymore).0 -

If what I have written is wrong then say why.
Your opinion is that people didn’t consider the ramification of their vote.
I am not interested in why people voted the way they did, but the result of the vote in reality.0
