by British citizens see each other every time they visit the European Union
All British drivers who enter the area of Schengen have to get out of their vehicle in order to be individually printed and photographed.
This is because Brussels delayed the introduction of a new biometric entry-level check system for non-EU citizens that should be introduced last year.
A significant infrastructure was also built in Kent to try to minimize the disturbance of the cross -border journey.
The port of Dover, which facilitates traveling and trading with countries such as France and the Netherlands, recovers 13 hectares of land to cope with travelers who rise from cars and buses.
Doug Bannister, the managing director of the port, told The Guardian that it would be “business as usual” this summer, but said that “a big change” will be divided into travel from autumn.
On each subsequent trip, the fingerprint or a face picture is checked together with your passport number.
The system is designed so that it can be removed “wet stamping” and the number of days in which visitors stay on the European mainland can be recorded automatically.
It is intended that an app that is installed on tablets of the British border board can be checked in the vehicle in order to check the biometry of every person.
However, Mr. Bannister said that the app, which was developed by the EU border authority Frontex, “will not be ready at any time before November, but hopefully it could come quickly afterwards”.
He admitted that “second, third, fourth time travelers still have to grasp a biometry at the border”, which means that the passengers still have to get out of their vehicle until the app is ready.

Mr. Bannister is confident that the upcoming checks in the port, which processes more than 10,000 trucks and 15,000 passenger vehicles a day in summer, will only add six minutes to a trip.
In a striking solution supported by the British and French governments, the port will create a virtual border system around 1.5 miles in the city for checks.
Irregular movements between the biometric boundary that goes from the western cliffs, and ferries are monitored by a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and automatic plate detection.
In the meantime, the Downing Street and the EU have committed to negotiating a new deal in which strict reviews of goods such as Farm Foods are eliminated as part of Brexit “Reset” by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starrer Starrer Heads to enter the UK.
The port of Dover takes care of a trade worth almost £ 144 billion, which corresponds to a third of the British trade trade with the EU and welcomes around 11 million passengers annually.
