EU Holiday Spot to Let Brits Skip Queues with Passport E-Gates After New Deal
- On Thursday, June 5, 2025, Faro Airport in Portugal began allowing British tourists to use passport e-gates under a new EU-UK agreement.
- This change follows the historic EU-UK deal signed on May 19, 2025, aimed at easing travel barriers and improving relations after Brexit.
- The rollout precedes the October 2025 launch of the EU biometric Entry/Exit System requiring fingerprint and photo registration for non-EU arrivals.
- The recent agreement was described as beneficial for employment, household expenses, and border security, while also simplifying travel for holidaymakers.
- This move lets millions of British visitors avoid long border queues at Faro, suggesting smoother summer travel and efforts to extend e-gate access.
