"Greece is waving part of the EES regulations for British passport holders, which will ensure a smoother and more efficient arrival experience in Greece."
"The move is expected to significantly reduce waiting times and ease congestion at airports, particularly during peak periods."
"In 2025, nearly 25 million people visited Greece between January and August, earning the country €16.7 billion in travel revenue."
"In 2022, almost 4.5 million Britons were registered at Greek entry points, a record number and nearly 3 million more than in 2021."
The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) faced issues shortly after its implementation, causing delays for travelers. Greece has decided to exempt British passport holders from biometric registration at border crossings to enhance the arrival experience. This decision aims to reduce waiting times and congestion at airports, especially during peak tourist seasons. The exact details regarding the exit process for British travelers remain unclear. Greece's tourism statistics indicate a significant influx of British visitors, prompting the need for smoother entry procedures.
