EES · The app

The EES app travellers actually open at the airport.

You cannot complete EES biometrics on your phone — that happens at the border kiosk. What an app can do is tell you how long the kiosk queue is, when the border is quietest, and how many of your 90 Schengen days are left. That is what FlightQueue does, across every Schengen airport.

Is there an EES app?

There is no official app to pre-register your EES biometrics from home — first entry is captured at the kiosk. The EU's planned "EU Travel" app is not widely live yet. For live kiosk queues, hourly forecasts, and a 90/180 tracker today, travellers use FlightQueue.

Live EES kiosk queues

Current first-entry wait times at Schengen EES kiosks, from crowd reports and airport feeds. See how bad the border is before you land.

Hour-by-hour forecast

The busiest and quietest border hours for each airport and direction, so you can pick a flight or plan your connection around the crush.

90 / 180 day tracker

A built-in Schengen calculator that counts days used and days remaining across all 29 countries, now that EES enforces the limit automatically.

Overstay alerts

Optional notifications as you approach your 90-day limit, so you plan your exit before triggering an overstay flag or ban.

EES app vs the EU's official app

No phone biometrics

Fingerprints and a facial image must be captured at the kiosk or booth on first entry. No app can do this remotely.

The EU "EU Travel" app

The European Commission has announced an official app to pre-fill some details before travel. It is still rolling out and does not replace the kiosk step.

ETIAS is the online part

The fully online step is ETIAS — applied for on the official EU portal before you fly. EES is the on-arrival biometric step.

What FlightQueue adds

Live queues, forecasts, and 90/180 tracking across every Schengen airport — the practical layer the official tools do not provide.

EES app FAQs

There is no single official traveller app that lets you "pre-register" for EES from home — first-entry biometrics are captured at the border kiosk, not in advance. The EU has announced a future "EU Travel" app that may let some travellers pre-fill data, but it is not yet widely live. In the meantime, FlightQueue is the app travellers use to see live EES kiosk queues, forecast the quietest hours, and track their 90/180 days.
Not fully. EES requires your fingerprints and a facial image to be captured at the border on your first entry, which a phone cannot do. The planned EU app would let you pre-enter some passport and trip details to speed up the kiosk step, but the biometric capture still happens at the airport. ETIAS, by contrast, is fully online and separate.
It shows live first-entry wait times at Schengen EES kiosks, an hour-by-hour forecast of the busiest and quietest border times by airport, a Schengen 90/180-day calculator, and optional alerts as you approach your day limit. It is free to see current waits; forecasts and alerts are part of the premium tier.
The app covers the EES side — queues, forecasts, and 90/180 tracking. ETIAS is a separate online authorisation you apply for on the official EU portal before you fly. The app and site link you to the ETIAS guidance and explain how the two fit together.
