About this app
Speed up your border check with the Travel to Europe app.
Developed by the European Union, Travel to Europe allows you to pre-register your personal information for the Entry/Exit System (EES) in advance.
Currently, you can use the Travel to Europe app when entering Sweden, where it supports passport data, facial image and entry questionnaire. The other European countries using the EES may make the app available later. The specific functionalities offered may also vary from country to country.
Secure and simple to use, pre-registration with the app can be done within 72 hours before arriving in or leaving a European country using the EES.
Who can use the app?
You can use the app if you are a non-EU national travelling for a short stay to a European country using the EES, provided that you have:
• A biometric passport
• Android 10 or later
• NFC (Near-Field Communication) functionality, in order to read the passport’s chip
• A frontal camera for the selfie capture
You cannot use the app if you hold a residence permit or a long-stay visa issued by a European country using the EES. To read more about whom the EES does not apply to and who cannot use the app visit https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees/to-whom-does-ees-not-apply
How do I use the app?
1. Create a new journey by selecting the European country using the EES you are arriving in or leaving from
2. Select the border crossing point and the time of your expected arrival
3. Scan the personal details page and the chip of your passport
4. Take a selfie to confirm your identity
5. Answer a few questions about your travel plans
6. Optional: add co-travellers using steps 1-5
7. Submit your journey
8. Receive a confirmation that your journey has been accepted
9. Go to the border crossing point and follow the border guard’s instructions
Using the app does not replace checks by the border authorities and does not guarantee entry into the European countries using the EES. The final decision on entry can only be taken by the local border authorities based on whether you fulfil the entry conditions.

absolutely awful - the app presents as useful, to reduce time upon entering a country in the Schengen area. unfortunately there is just ONE country listed - Sweden. we're traveling to the Netherlands. even though many countries are listed as being in the Schengen area, the app doesn't allow you to continue unless you're going to Sweden. it's useless and as soon as I complete this review I'm deleting it.😤

Thank you for your comment. Using the app is voluntary for EU Member States who can choose if, when and where they would like to use it for EES pre-registration. Currently the app is available in Sweden and more countries will be added later. The up-to-date list of countries where the app is used can be found on the EES website europa.eu/ees.

I believe this app has allowed new extra border checks to be pushed through. They can say 'It works for Sweden' and continue with slow manual checks elsewhere. I could be proven wrong by a faster roll out - but it's 5 months down the line and still only tourist hotspot Sweden is listed. I suggest the app is either renamed or is declared not ready for purpose, as you are damaging your reputation.

Pointless to have an app that supports only one country - I understand it is optional for Member States to incorporate the app into their systems, but it doesn't mean this couldn't have been arranged better. Disjointed management and implementation. Maybe consider scrapping the app, or demanding all (or at least a significant number of Member States use it). Otherwise, change the name of the app to "Travel to Sweden, arrivals and only at select airports"
