EES means Entry/Exit System, which is the digital border control system that registers every non-EU traveller each time they enter a participating Schengen country. So, now all UK travellers, including UK citizens and residents, have to record their biometric data at the borders.

No, ETIAS is not required for all travellers. Expected to roll out in late 2026, it will only apply to visitors from visa-exempt countries traveling to France or the Schengen Area for short stays of up to 90 days. Travellers who require a Schengen visa do not need ETIAS.

A UK eVisa, share code, or BRP only proves your legal residence in the UK and cannot be used to enter France or the Schengen Area.

Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality:

  • If your passport is from a visa-required country, you must apply for a France Schengen visa
  • If your passport is visa-exempt, you can travel for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) without a visa
