Multiple reports describe travellers’ experiences following the rollout of Europe’s new digital entry system. One outlet recounts a trip to Rome where the writer had expected severe delays after hearing accounts of immigration lines running for several hours. Despite those reports, the writer says they did not experience problems and “skipped” the system, implying they were able to enter without using the new digital process. The account reflects concern about the rollout’s performance, with earlier reports cited as suggesting immigration waits of up to three hours. However, the same narrative indicates that not all travellers are affected equally, depending on whether they use or bypass the new entry requirements. Taken together, the sources present a picture of uncertainty: public reports point to operational difficulties in parts of the system, while individual travellers may still face minimal delays. No additional verified details are provided in the excerpts beyond the contrast between widely reported delays and the writer’s personal experience in Rome.
