Visas: Large Goods Vehicle Drivers

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what government guidance is available to UK professional drivers who believe their EU Entry/Exit System record does not accurately show that they have exited the Schengen area.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Entry/Exit System (EES) is an EU scheme, and its implementation is a matter for the EU and its member states.

Where a traveller believes their EES record may not have been recorded correctly, the official EES website provides contact details for data protection authorities in participating countries. Official EES guidance also states that travellers have the right to request access to their personal data held within EES and, where appropriate, to request that inaccurate data is corrected or deleted.
