EU Entry/Exit System (EES) rollout
The EU's digital Entry/Exit System is being phased in at Schengen borders through 2026, replacing manual passport stamps with biometric registration for short-stay visitors. It doesn't change how you apply for a visa, but expect a facial photo and fingerprint check on your first crossing.
Strengthen your application.
- Provide a clear, realistic day-by-day itinerary — Dutch reviewers weigh this heavily.
- Confirmed accommodation for every night of the trip is expected, not just the first few nights.
- If self-employed, include business registration documents alongside your bank statements.
Common rejection reasons.
- A vague or unrealistic travel itinerary.
- Funds that don't comfortably match the length and cost of the planned trip.
- Missing proof of accommodation for part of the stay.
