Romania and Bulgaria are indeed strange, they are partially in Schengen. No passport check for air travel, but passport control for land travel.
No Sir. They started it October 2023 and it is all about Asylum seekers.
I know, Euros and terrorism sounds better (in the sense more people will let it pass as okay) but that’s not it.
sorry, German. October 2023:
Wasn’t that something to do with all their household rubbish they were taking across the border and dumping in Germany - and the Germans have had enough - among other reasons.
Not really a 
matter.
At the German border (Basel-Weil am Rhein) they routinely control everyone’s travel documents on the tram. It’s not racial profiling, as it’s systematic.

More delays.
Looks like the EITAS fee will no longer be 7 Euros, but 20 when they finally get around to getting it going late next year.

EES partially rolling out from 12th October 2025.
So are we going to have to apply for these new Withdrawal Agreement Residence documents or not? Totally confused.

This is indeed going to cause more chaos at ports while they try and do all this scanning stuff.
