“Portugal and Italy to Suspend EU Border Checks for UK Travelers”

Published on

British travelers planning trips to popular European vacation spots have received an update following chaotic queues at major airports. Portugal and Italy are expected to join Greece in suspending EU border checks for UK visitors until September due to significant delays. Passengers have faced long delays and missed flights due to the new post-Brexit regulations mandating biometric data submission at dedicated kiosks. Portugal is temporarily allowing passengers through during peak times and is likely to adopt traditional passport stamping like Greece. Issues with faulty biometric technology and staff shortages have exacerbated the situation in France and Croatia. The travel industry emphasizes the economic impact, with British tourists contributing significantly to the Greek economy. Ryanair has criticized the EES system rollout, calling for a suspension until September to prevent further passenger inconvenience. The Foreign Office had warned passengers about potential delays at EU borders with the introduction of the EES system.
