Key Points

  • Munich Airport introduced a pilot test program intended to reduce passenger wait times and entry delays

Overview

The authorities of Munich Airport introduced a pilot project for testing express queues in the country to reduce entry delays. The pilot project was launched on October 25, 2022, and will remain in place for 60 days.

The system will allow foreign nationals from countries outside the Schengen Area to register for a 30-minute appointment window. Using this process, foreign nationals will be granted access to security checkpoints and passport control during this appointment window.

Foreign nationals can still enter the country and pass security checks and passport controls without pre-registering. However, delays in the entry may occur.
