AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoSchengen Border Rules: UK holidaymakers entering the Schengen area face new biometric checks under the Entry/Exit System, including passport scanning, photo capture, and four fingerprint scans for most travellers; children under 12 won’t be fingerprinted, but will still be photographed and recorded. Liechtenstein in the Spotlight: The Schengen list explicitly includes Liechtenstein, meaning the new process directly affects travel to and through the country. Swiss Heatwave Response: Switzerland expanded its heatwave warning to level 4 across much of the country, with no relief expected until Monday—an issue that can quickly turn into a government and public-safety test. Foreign Residents Debate (Switzerland): Swiss politics is seeing renewed pressure around “foreigner taxes” and security-related fees for non-Swiss residents, with free-movement concerns raised for EU/EFTA nationals. Crypto Regulation (Liechtenstein): Bitcoin Suisse secured a MiCAR Crypto Asset Service Provider licence from Liechtenstein’s Financial Market Authority, giving it a regulated route to serve selected EEA markets.
