Author Jojo Moyes among UK travellers at risk of EU ban amid digital border system glitches

Errors in entry and exit records leave some Britons wrongly flagged as having overstayed post-Brexit 90-day limit

The writer Jojo Moyes is facing a two-year EU travel ban and €10,000 (£8,300) fine because of glitches with the bloc’s digital security controls.

She is one of a number of UK travellers who say their trips to the EU have not been properly recorded since the introduction of the EU digital entry and exit system (EES).

The system, which launched last year, has replaced passport stamps with biometrics recorded at border control in Schengen zone countries.

However, the botched rollout has led to some Britons being denied their post-Brexit right to spend 90 days out of 180 in Europe because the system falsely states they have used up their allowance.
