What Travellers Should Know
Temporary internal border controls may involve additional document checks.
Travellers should carry valid travel documents and allow extra time for their journeys.
These controls are separate from Schengen visa eligibility and do not automatically change short-stay visa requirements.
The notified dates alone do not confirm whether either country has extended or lifted its controls beyond the listed period.
