After being made EU slaves yesterday, the village is in gloom.
Cliff in the pub told us there’d be no more pints of wine.
Jill in the village shop has retired to bed sobbing about no fish and clutching a bent banana.
And unlike the EU, Bunty has closed her eGate to me.
I BLAME STARMER!

I have heard horror stories about the new EU entry system and especially non-Schengen entry at Malaga.
Fortunately, even though the place is setup for insanely long queues, we saw none. The EU egate thing didn’t work for me but there was no wait for a staffed booth. Plane to train in 20 minutes.

It basically feels like the EU made a few APIs, didn‘t document them well (at all?) and left everyone to get on with building software and procedures on top of that. Norwegian border guard seemed convinced EES would never allow egate use for non-EU, I used one in Spain the next week.

It's a start; but that's all.
Starmer's red lines are crippling the UK's creative industries - music, fashion and many more.
Of course it's great to be able to travel to the EU for vacations and use an eGate.
But some of us actually need to go there to work.

I went through Milan Linate airport before Christmas - they have fully implemented EES.
Registration at a kiosk took a couple of minutes, then I was directed to an egate.
I was through before my two kids, both EU passport holders.

A consequence of not being willing to fund the state...... They tag you coming in, They tag you going out..... They should be able to tag anyone without the relevant visa at check in & eGate should send them to the desk..... If you're leaving beyond date you should be sent to gate & passport blocked

⚠️ Ireland recalls 13k passports after software error
Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs recalled 12.904 passports after a software update caused printing defects, likely affecting the MRZ and eGate readability.
Passports issued Dec 23 to Jan 6 will be replaced free of charge.

I’ve done my ees thing so coming in I went straight to the egate and got through. But coming out again I had five minutes of hassle with an immigration officer who didn’t seem to know what to do. Hope it’s better in a few weeks. Bloody Brexit….

As has been pointed out, EES-free eGate access would require extensive data-sharing … which HMG/ HO want anyway as a means to address irregular migration.

Would still be quicker not to do prints, though. UK and Indonesia have had the easiest entry (short online form, just use egate) of anywhere I have been lately (admittedly more effort than before the UK made me fill in a form).

At the moment it seems everyone puts their passport onto the registration terminal, and if it determines you are already registered the screen directs you to go straight to an egate
It will be mayhem if people are allowed to join a line for those already registered or one for those who need to

This was also the first time since owning this passport that the eGate didn’t work and I had to have a proper conversation with an officer. Yes sir I am going to a wrestling show today. I am leaving again tomorrow

First encounter with the new EU entry system.
Scan passport at one desk, a bank of about 20. Then go to an eGate, one of about 9. Then proceed to get passport entry stamped by one of two people.
Felt like it took longer than it did. Someone behind loudly saying this was “punishment”. #holiday
