From 12 October, the EU will begin rolling out its new Entry/Exit System (EES), a digital border control initiative expected to affect around 700 million travellers annually.
Following this, the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS), a mandatory pre-travel authorisation for visa-exempt non-EU nationals, is expected to launch in late 2026, requiring eligible travellers to apply online before entering the Schengen Area for short stays.

This webcast explores the implications of EES and ETIAS for business travel, compliance, and border procedures.

Key topics include risks under the 90/180 rule, such as overstays and refused entry, and the readiness of EU jurisdictions.

We’ll also examine employer responsibilities and strategies to mitigate travel disruptions.

Learning outcomes:

  • Understand how EES and ETIAS will affect short-stay travel for visa required and visa-exempt nationals.
  • Learn how to prepare your organisation and travellers for stricter entry requirements.
  • Gain insights into managing travel risks and ensuring compliance across multiple EU countries.

This session is designed for mobility professionals and HR leaders navigating upcoming EU border changes.
