In 2022 Member States of the Schengen Area will be required to have a biometric entry and exit system to register non-European citizens crossing an EU external border. Thales has been selected by the French Ministry of the Interior to deliver several hundred pre-registration kiosks at various border crossing points. The ‘Thales Gemalto Border Kiosk’ will provide a self-service, intuitive and interactive terminal to guide travelers through every stage of identity registration and verification.
