After months of roll out, the new Entry/Exit system (EES) will finally be in place across the Schengen area from April 10. The new EES will require all non-EU nationals travelling to 29 European countries to register their biometric data such as a facial scan and fingerprints instead of a manual passport stamp.

Many popular holiday destinations like Portugal, Italy and Spain will be affected by the new system. However, there are 14 countries (15 including the UK) that are exempt from the system, known as “non-Schengen countries”. Laura Evans-Fisk, head of digital and engagement at eurochange, expects an influx in people travelling to non-Schengen countries as a result.

She said: “The introduction of this new border control system may be off-putting to some people who want to book last-minute trips this Easter, especially those who like to keep travel as fuss-free as possible.

“I think we should expect to see an increase in Brits travelling to countries that are exempt from the legislation over the next few months – including the Easter and summer holidays.”

If you want to skip the hassle and make your travel a little less stressful, Laura has found three amazing holiday spots that will be exempt from the EES, meaning Brits can explore without needing to provide biometrics.

Her first recommendation is Kotor in Montenegro. She said: “Montenegro is quickly becoming one of the most popular up-and-coming destinations in Europe. A less crowded alternative to Croatia, it offers similar quaint towns, gorgeous beaches and a stunning coastline, but it is around 20-30% cheaper.”

For example, accommodation in Montenegro starts from £23 per person per night, and a three-course meal will set you back £31.78.

Kotor is on the coast, and offers beautiful beaches and a laidback vibe, perfect for relaxing. Laura said: “This is a great spot if you’re after a chilled, slow-paced holiday, without having to pay huge prices.”

Next on her list is Tirana, Albania. This capital city is thriving with culture and a foodie’s paradise too. Laura said: “One of the best ways to explore is by taking a stroll through the streets, following the eccentric street art, graffiti and murals.

“Remember to order ​​Albanian favourites, Fërgesë Gjize (baked cheese with peppers) and Trilece (a tasty pie made with sponge cake and three different kinds of milk) for dessert.”

Her final recommendation is Sarajevo, Bosnia. Laura said: “It is one of the only places where you can visit a Mosque, a Catholic church, an Eastern Orthodox church and a synagogue in one place.

“Tucked inside a long, thin valley and surrounded by forested mountains, the city has a picture-perfect backdrop.

“Its broad mix of cultural influences means its architecture is also absolutely beautiful, and its restaurant scene is an eclectic mix of Turkish and Bosnian-inspired offerings. And, with prices averaging just £30 per person for a three-course meal, your money really does go far here.”
