April 10, 2026, marked a significant shift in the Schengen immigration system. The era of manually stamping passports was replaced by a more sophisticated, digital Entry/Exit System (EES) for non-Schengen nationals. This European database captures the border crossing data of non-EU and non-Schengen area nationals venturing into the Schengen Zone.
Since its gradual implementation from October 12, 2025, and becoming fully operational, the changes stirred waves of questions. The Professional Yachting Association (PYA) took it upon itself to clarify the situation for non-Schengen nationals joining a crew in a Schengen port. In collaboration with French immigration administration officials, they managed to chart the waters of this new technological journey.
