Sweden & Serbia

Entry/Exit System (EES) from 10th November 2024

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay, each time they cross the external borders of any of the following European countries using the system: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland.

For the purpose of the EES, ‘non-EU national’ means a traveller not holding the nationality of any European Union country or the nationality of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland.

‘Short stay’ means up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This period is calculated as a single period for all the European countries using the EES.

EES will make it easier for you to check the number of days you are still allowed to stay on the territory of European countries using the EES through the EES online tool, which you can find:

When consulting the EES online tool, you will receive information on whether your entry is allowed (‘OK’ or ‘not OK’), as well as information about the number of days that you are still allowed to stay on the territory of the European countries using the EES.

You can also ask the passport control officers at external borders for this information.

Please find more information on the EES on the EU Delegation's homepage.
