Carrier Actions for EES Statuses

	OK-EES (OK to board) Valid single/double-entry visa found → However until October 2026, verification is required to ensure the visa has not yet been stamped.
	Not-OK-EES (Not OK to board) No valid single/double entry visa found → check for other valid travel documents

Not-OK EES : Check for other valid travel documents

• Multiple entry visas
• Long-stay visa
• Residence permit (residence card)
• Diplomatic passport or laissez-passer

Airport transit → no visa required for passenger in transit if final destination out of Schengen

OK EES : Ensure that visa hasn’t been stamped yet

This is a transitional process until October 6, when the EES will be fully deployed. Until then, passports may still be physically stamped, meaning the entry may not be recorded in the EES.

Operators must ensure that single- or double-entry visas have not yet been used.

A passenger is OK-to-board if :

• no stamp on a single-entry visa
• no more than one stamp on a double-entry visa
