Schengen Convention

The Schengen Convention is an agreement among European countries that allows passport-free travel across their borders, creating a shared area called the Schengen Area. It simplifies movement by eliminating routine border checks, enabling people to travel, work, and live more freely within these countries. While it promotes cooperation on security and immigration policies, each member maintains its own rules outside the Schengen Zone. Overall, it fosters greater integration and ease of travel within participating European nations, enhancing economic and social connections.
