澳大利亚人从2026年1月开始,在进出申根地区时提供指纹和照片。 Australians now give fingerprints and photos when entering and exiting the Schengen Area starting Jan 2026.

截至2026年1月,前往申根地区的澳大利亚人必须在新的入境/出境系统下提供生物鉴别数据——指纹和照片——出入境,该系统于2025年10月推出。 As of January 2026, Australians traveling to the Schengen Area must provide biometric data—fingerprints and a photo—at entry and exit under the new Entry/Exit System (EES), which began rolling out in October 2025. 该系统在2026年4月10日前完全可强制执行,适用于来自澳大利亚、美国和联合王国的旅行人员,但不适用于非申根国家。 The system, fully enforceable by April 10, 2026, applies to travelers from Australia, the U.S., and the UK but not to non-Schengen countries. 不需要预先登记或收费,旅行者可以使用自用亭或载人柜台,尽管执行情况各不相同,但有些机场由于人手不足而报告长线。 No pre-registration or fees are required, and travelers can use self-serve kiosks or manned counters, though implementation varies, with some airports reporting long lines due to understaffing. 一旦收集了生物鉴别数据,旅行者就可以在主要机场获得更快的生物鉴别护照通道。 Once biometric data is collected, travelers gain access to faster biometric passport lanes at major airports. EES与即将开始的ETIAS系统是分开的,在任何180天期间都不改变90天的限制。 The EES is separate from the upcoming ETIAS system and does not change the 90-day limit in any 180-day period.
