Pursuant to the European Parliament and European Union Council Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders otherwise known as the Schengen Borders Code (SBC), the EU Member States have temporarily reinstated border controls in response to security threats to public policy or internal security.


The countries within the Schengen Area that recently imposed heightened border controls are Denmark, Norway, Slovenia and Sweden.


The public and OFWs in Europe are reminded to exercise caution in crossing borders within the Schengen Area and to always have in their possession their valid passports, visa or residence permits, and other pertinent documents when traveling.
