Schengen expanded to airports

Travelers flying between the nine new Schengen countries and to the rest of the Schengen space countries do not have to show their passport from this Sunday.

Hungary, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Malta and Slovenia have joined Schengen Space on last December, allowing them to stop border controls.

This measure had been extended to airports only on March 30th, when the semester flight schedule is updated.

Schengen space includes 22 countries within the European Union, plus Norway and Iceland, including 400 million inhabitants.

In the future, Cyprus, Switzerland and Liechtenstein are expected to join the club of Schengen countries. And for Romania and Bulgaria, they'll have to wait more...
