EU Schengen Area

The EU Schengen Area is a group of European countries that have agreed to allow passport-free travel across their borders. Instead of stopping and checking travelers at each country’s border, people can move freely within the area, making travel easier and faster. This cooperation simplifies tourism, business, and daily movement for residents. However, countries retain control over their own borders outside the Schengen zone and can reintroduce checks during emergencies. The area promotes regional integration and cooperation, aiming to facilitate seamless travel while maintaining security and sovereignty for member nations.
