External border control

External border control refers to the measures and procedures countries use to regulate and monitor entries and exits at their borders. It involves checking travelers' identities, visas, and documents to ensure security, prevent illegal immigration, and facilitate legal movement. This process helps maintain national security, protect borders from threats, and ensure that entry complies with laws. External border control often includes customs checks, surveillance, and cooperation with other countries or agencies to manage external borders effectively and uphold safety and legal standards.
