Since April 2026 the EES is real and adds between 30 and 75 minutes to your first immigration check in Madrid or Barcelona. ETIAS, on the other hand, still has no official start date. Here's the difference so you don't pay for fake procedures.
Starting April 2026, the EES changes migration times in Spain. First entry: 30-75 extra minutes. Subsequent entries: 15-45 minutes. Connections in Madrid/Barcelona need 2-3 hour minimums based on your EES profile.
Osi can run these analyses for your specific route, dates, and budget.
