Automatic systems, which are supposed to check the fingerprints and facial images of those entering European countries, are expected to start working at the borders of the continent this coming May - raising the fears of those who are not citizens of the continent.
The automatic systems are still not ready, and in various reports in the European media, they expressed concern about how they will work due to the short time they can be put into operation.
"The activation of the automatic systems will significantly increase the waiting time," the Austrian authorities claimed in a report published on the "Euro News" website.
It was also reported on the website that a number of countries claim that they were not given enough time to activate the systems as required, which may cause quite a few problems entering Europe after they are activated.

On top of that, as of November 2023, non-European citizens will have to issue some type of visa before entering EU countries.
Although the cost will be relatively low and will be only 7 euros, but here too it is a bureaucratic process that will make the process of entering the continent a little more difficult.
The European Union has already issued a warning that there is a fear of forgeries and fraud following the changes in entering Europe.
The main concern is impersonating websites that will try to imitate the official websites of the authorities, and that will charge a fee for entering the continent, without having any connection to the official authorities.
It is important to emphasize that the entry permit to EU countries will need to be issued once every three years or until the passport expires.
The permit will allow entry into Europe for 90 days.
