Important Travel Information: EU Entry/Exit System (EES)
With the introduction of the Entry/Exit System (EES) by the European Union, it is now required for non-EU nationals to register each time they enter or leave the Schengen Area. This new system is especially relevant for UK travelers on services like Eurostar. While a valid passport has always been required for border crossings, the EES adds a new step to the process. To ensure a smooth journey, please make sure you have all necessary travel documents prepared.
Eurostar Cross-Border Travel Information
| Category | Information |
|---|---|
| General Information | Eurostar is a high-speed train service connecting London (UK) with cities in mainland Europe including Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, and Lille. All immigration and customs checks are performed before boarding the train. |
| Visa Required | ✅ |
| Visa Requirement Details | UK passport holders do not need a visa for short stays (up to 90 days in any 180-day period) in the Schengen Area. Other nationalities may require a Schengen visa. |
| Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) | ✅ |
| ETA Details | From 2025, non-visa nationals (including most EU citizens) traveling to the UK will need to apply for an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA). This is a separate requirement from the EU's EES. |
| E-Visa | ❌ |
| E-Visa Link | Visas are not arranged through an e-visa system for most short-stay purposes; they must be applied for in advance through the relevant embassy or consulate. |
| Visa On Arrival (At The Border) | ❌ |
| Visa On Arrival Details | Visas are not issued at the Eurostar terminal. You must have all required travel documents and visas in advance of your journey. |
| Passport Validity | For travel to the Schengen Area, your passport must be less than 10 years old and valid for at least three months beyond the date you intend to leave the EU. For travel to the UK, your passport must be valid for the duration of your stay. |
| Immigration Process | Passengers pass through both UK exit checks and the destination country's entry immigration at the departure station before boarding. This is different from bus travel where the process is at the border. |
| Entry/Exit System (EES) | ✅ |
| EES Details | The EU's new Entry/Exit System (EES) will replace passport stamping for non-EU nationals (including UK citizens). You will register your fingerprints and have a facial scan at a self-service kiosk. This information is stored for three years. On subsequent trips, you will only need to provide a facial scan. |
| Border Crossing Time | The entire pre-boarding process (including security, immigration, and customs) typically takes 45-60 minutes, though it can be longer during peak periods. It is recommended to arrive 60-90 minutes before departure. |
| Luggage Check Or Custom Inspection | ✅ |
| Luggage Check Or Custom Inspection Details | All luggage is X-rayed at the security check before you proceed to passport control. Customs checks are conducted by border officials, with a focus on restricted and prohibited items. |
| Luggage Allowance | 2 pieces of luggage (up to 85cm long) + 1 piece of hand luggage for Standard and Standard Premier tickets. Business Premier tickets allow 3 main bags. There is no weight limit, but you must be able to carry your own bags. |
| Prohibited Items | E-scooters, hoverboards, and knives with blades longer than 75mm are prohibited. There are restrictions on the amount of alcohol you can carry. |
| Bus Companies | Not applicable; this is a train service. |
| Loyalty Program | ✅ |
| Loyalty Program Details | Club Eurostar is the loyalty program. Members earn points for every Euro spent on tickets, which can be redeemed for free tickets, upgrades, and discounts. You can add your membership details when booking. |
| Check-in Process | You must check in by scanning your ticket at the automated gates. Check-in closes 30 minutes before departure for most tickets. |
| Common Scams | Not applicable at the secure station terminals. Passengers should be aware of standard travel scams (e.g., pickpocketing in crowded areas). |
| Tips For A Smooth Trip | Arrive early (60-90 minutes before departure). Have your passport and tickets ready. Use the new EES kiosks for a quicker process. Place luggage on the X-ray scanner belt and walk through the metal detector. |
| Border Opening Hours | The Eurostar terminal's security and passport control area typically opens 90 minutes before the first departure and closes 30 minutes before the last departure. The train service itself does not run 24/7. |
| Travel Insurance | Strongly recommended. Not checked at the border, but essential for medical emergencies, delays, or theft. |
| Photos And Phones | Do not take photos or videos inside the secure immigration and customs areas. It may be considered a security breach. |
| Emergency Contact | Keep the local embassy/consulate contact details for the country you are visiting, along with Eurostar's customer service number. |
