European Entry/Exit System introduced at Budapest Airpo

The European Union is introducing a new border control system -Entry/Exit System-, EES for the registration of non-EU citizens traveling for short stays. The measure has been introduced uniformly and mandatorily at all border crossing points in 29 European countries, with the aim of strengthening internal security in the Schengen area. Implementation at Ferenc Liszt International Airport is taking place gradually, starting on 18 November 2025. The regulation is only for passengers with non-EU passports, who may temporarily have to expect longer waiting times during border checks. Budapest Airport is working with the authorities to ensure the seamless handling of passenger traffic.
