Here are the sites I have found that give detailed, thorough and accurate information regarding EES and potential delays at Lanzarote airport arrivals, or any other airports in the EU’s Schengen area.
EU official site – information about EES and all related queries
TravelonWorld – more general information about EES and 90/180 day rule
Lanzarote Retreats – detailed information about what to expect and why
Note – if you are one of the following, EES does not apply:
- EU passport/ID card holder
- Residents in Spain with a valid TIE or an expired TIE with regreso or proof of a booked appointment
- Children under 12
- Those on a long-term visa in Spain (your passport and visa must be valid.)
EES might apply if you are
- A UK citizen with an old green certificate – you should update this to a TIE as soon as possible
- A family member of an EU citizen, travelling with your EU family member or spouse. Be prepared to show proof of your relationship.
Had a flight delay? You are covered by EU law and may be entitled to compensation, even if travelling to/from the UK. Find out more here.
