Clearo shows you how long passport control will take — before you get there. With the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) now in force, non-EU travellers face biometric checks that can add real time at the border. Clearo turns that uncertainty into a simple number: the live or predicted wait at passport control, for arrivals and departures, at 409 Schengen airports. HOW IT WORKS Live waits come from travellers reporting the queue right now — the most accurate signal there is. Predicted waits are estimated from how many non-EU flights are arriving around now, each roughly a planeload of people needing biometric checks. Every figure is clearly labelled and colour-coded (green / amber / red), so you always know what you're looking at. TRACK YOUR FLIGHT Enter your flight number and Clearo anchors the estimate to your actual arrival or departure time, with a clear read on how long the entry or exit check is likely to take. HONEST BY DESIGN At big hubs, passport control is split across terminals — Clearo shows an airport-wide estimate and tells you where the non-Schengen (EES) checks are. If you're EES-registered with a biometric passport, self-service kiosks and eGates are usually faster than the staffed desk — Clearo flags that too. PRIVATE No account. No ads. No tracking. Location is used only on your device to find nearby airports when you report — it's never tied to who you are. Clearo covers every Schengen airport and is free to use. Clearo provides estimates for information only. It is an independent app and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any government, border authority, airport, or the EU Entry/Exit System (EES). Always allow extra time and follow official guidance at the airport. WHAT'S NEW (v1.0): First release of Clearo. Live and predicted passport-control (EES) wait times for 409 Schengen airports, flight tracking, and crowd-sourced reports. Safe travels!
