      If it’s of any consolation. It’s mostly performative.

      Visit other countries instead?

        So I’ll just leave my girlfriend at home whenever I want to go and see my family :)

          No. You just don’t have to be so whiny about it. It will take you a fraction of a moment to do your biometrics compared to the joy you’ll get by having your girlfriend see your family. What are you going to prioritise? It’s really not a big deal. And if you think it is then, seriously, visit other countries. Europe is not the be all and the end all.

              I won’t either. Irish grandmother 😊🇮🇪. But I thought you said your girlfriend would need to? Sorry did I misunderstand you?

                  Hmmm 🧐. No I said it’s not a big deal to visit Europe and do biometrics for literally 60 seconds at the border. Like what is the big deal about that? Feel free to visit of you want. And if you don’t want to (for whatever reason) then don’t. I’m not telling you to do anything 🤷.
