Update on the EU Entry/Exit System (EES)

The European Union announced in a press conference that the Entry Exit System will not be launched as planned on 10 November 2024.

A new launch date has not been set, although it is expected to be within the next few months.

Advice remains to urgently exchange your Green Certificate for a Tarjeta de Identidad de Extranjero (TIE), if you have not already done so.

According to guidance published on the official website, those with a Green Certificate will not be considered exempt from EES and will therefore have to pass through the full registration process, not only in Spain but when entering other EU countries.

The TIE card is the best way to avoid disruption and difficulties at the border when EES comes into force.
