Reminder to those travelling through Europe: the new Entry-Exit System (EES) will soon be implemented - scheduled for 10 November 2024.
This isn't something you do in advance - it will be applied at borders, so you need to allow extra time for travel as it is likely to cause delays at first.
This does not mean you do not need a Visa to enter Schengen countries! You will still need a Visa. The EES is essentially an electronic way to travel entry and exit - like a passport stamp.
(We will miss those stamps in our passports - it's such a fun way to see where you've been!)
