6. Register the answers to the completed multiple-choice questionnaire, only for incoming passengers;
7. Register/Update EES data

Subsequently, the traveler will go to the E-gate where the following operations will be carried out:

1. Verification of the authenticity and integrity of the travel document
2. Verification of the legitimate ownership of the travel document by the passenger
3. Registration of necessary passenger data
4. Verification of the passenger’s eligibility to cross the border, in accordance with pre-determined rules.
