A new border control system is in place across the EU with new travel rules for Brits.

The EU Entry/Exit system (EES) came into effect on October 12, requiring those with a UK passport heading for a short stay to register their biometric details.

These details, such as fingerprints and a photo, are collected when you arrive.

Here are all the countries where the new system will be implemented.

* Malta

* Netherlands

* Norway

* Poland

* Portugal

* Romania

* Slovakia

* Slovenia

* Spain

* Sweden

* Switzerland

It is important to note that the Republic of Ireland and Cyprus are not within the Schengen area, so the new EES is not applicable when travelling to either of these countries.

How the new EU Entry/Exit System works

If you are travelling to any of the above countries for a short stay using a UK passport, you will be required to register your biometric details, such as fingerprints and a photo, when you arrive.

Nothing needs to be done ahead of time, and it is a free process.

The new system rolled out on Sunday, October 12, however, at this stage, only one border point for each state must use the system.

At least half of the border points should be operating EES by January next year, with full activation for all eligible arrivals by April 10.
