India, April 19 -- As of April 10, under the new entry and exit system (EES), all travellers from non-EU countries are required to undergo biometrics, with photographs and fingerprints at EU airports and border points. Tourists were warned of airport delays for up to four hours because of the EU's new biometric entry and exit checks, but now, Greece is removing the biometric system for UK citizens.

The Director of the Greek National Tourism Organisation in the UK, Eleni Skarveli, states that this move would 'ensure a smoother and more efficient arrival experience in Greece' and eliminate waiting times.

However, Greece drops the requirement, other countries could still see heavy delays for travellers.
