Schengen Border Checks Extended Across Europe Until 2027

Always carry your original passport and residence card when traveling across Europe from Stockholm.

Border checks across several Schengen countries will remain active for much longer.

Germany and Poland extended temporary land border controls through mid-March 2027.

Seven other Schengen nations maintain active border checks into late 2026.

These countries include Sweden, Denmark, France, and Austria.

Valid Schengen visas and residence permits remain fully valid for travel.

However, authorities are conducting random identity checks along the borders.

Travelers should carry original passports and residence cards at all times.

This will help avoid travel disruptions during cross-border journeys.
