✈️ Traveling to Portugal after Oct 12?
Big changes are coming! If you’re arriving from outside the EU, border checks will be fully digital — no more passport stamps. 🖐️ Biometric data required First entry? You’ll provide fingerprints + a facial photo. This info builds your travel history and replaces old manual records. ⏳ Stay automatically tracked The system calculates your 90-day stay limit in the Schengen Area, sending alerts if you go over. 🔍 Safer + smarter borders Linked to EU databases (SIS II, VIS, ETIAS), the system helps spot fake documents, security risks, and flagged travelers. 🛂 Rolling out in Portugal Starts at airports, then seaports and land borders within 6 months. Digital control finally replaces manual stamps. #António Barbosa
