The Entry/Exit System (EES) has been gradually implemented at the EU’s external borders since October 12, 2025; full implementation across the EU is scheduled for April 2026.
At Memmingen Airport, the introduction will take place in stages:
Start March 11, 2026
Full implementation from May 1, 2026.
The EES applies to travelers from non-EU/non-Schengen countries for short stays (up to 90 days in 180 days). EU citizens are not affected.

Entries and exits will be recorded digitally in future; in the long term, EES will replace passport stamping. Travel documents, facial images, and fingerprints will be recorded, among other things; exits will also be registered to make it possible to track lengths of stay throughout the EU.
Due to the local infrastructure, registration will take place entirely at the border control counters.
Steps to be taken on site:
An EU-wide IT system that digitally records the entry and exit of travelers from non-EU countries; the aim is to increase security, efficiency, and uniform procedures at the external borders.
EU citizens and citizens of associated Schengen countries (e.g., Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein) are not affected.
Personal data, travel documents, facial image, and fingerprints; entry and exit dates are stored digitally.
Records of each entry, exit, or refusal of entry
are stored for three years from the date of the entry, exit, or
refusal of entry record. See the Federal Police’s privacy policy.
The initial recording of biometric data requires additional time; during the introduction phase, this may cause delays at border control.
Not at present; registration is carried out entirely at staffed counters.
