Big brother is going to be tracking all non- EU nationals, including those from the UK, using advanced biometrics in the Schengen Area from October 6 when the EU’s new Entry and Exit System begins operating. The Entry and Exit System (EES) is designed to monitor non-EU citizens who need a visa for brief visits. The initiative is particularly relevant for individuals from the UK and other non-EU nations who plan to travel to Europe, as it mandates adherence to the new guidelines.
Also in Holiday
- UK entry visa comes into force on Wednesday
- Curtain comes down on Son Amar, the popular Mallorca nightspot
- New train service will have 10 kilometre underground section, linked with Palma airport
- Mallorca beaches at Soller and Andratx covered by thousands of 'little sails'
- Ryanair changes its hand luggage and check-in rules

Don't go there then. They hold demonstrations telling us to f#ck off and that they p#ss in our beer as well as lots more
The anti-tourist mob will be doing that.
Like they aren't already. Passports are scanned arriving and leaving and that info is available to all.
Humphrey does love banging this drum! "designed to monitor non-EU citizens who need a visa for brief visits". WRONG! It's a visa waiver system (like for the US, Canada, Australia). UK citizens don't need a visa, however, visitors from many African and Asian countries do, apply to the embassy of the first EU country on your itinerary weeks on advance with lots of paperwork, return ticket, hotel bookings or invitation, proofs of funds, medical insurance, employment, salary and intent to return etc. etc.
Poor Brits. The single most important nationality on the planet, but everybody is out to get them for it. So unfair. But it draws clicks. And that's what's important.
Good luck to the government even I can't keep track of my mother when she comes to visit.
What an absurd and untrue headline! The British (or any other non -EU national) will not be 'tracked" whilst on holiday in Mallorca or anywhere else. The only tracking takes place when they cross a Schengen external border. Why is the MDB so hell bent on scaremongering??
