According to The Local, the European Union's border agency, Frontex, has developed a mobile application designed to allow travellers to pre-register for the Entry/Exit System (EES). The initiative arrives as the summer travel period begins, a time during which European authorities anticipate significant queues at popular tourist destinations.

The rollout of this digital tool aims to streamline the processing of visitors across the bloc. While the technology is intended to mitigate border congestion, queries remain regarding the specific adoption status of the app across different member states. Reporting from The Local notes that the effectiveness of this system will be closely monitored as passenger volumes increase throughout the summer months.
