- There are normally no immigration controls between countries that have signed and implemented the treaty; there may be such controls temporarily, such as in connection with important events and various crises.
- There may be identity checks before boarding international flights or ferries, even between Schengen countries, carried out by the operators.
- Citizens of the EEA countries and Switzerland do not need visas for travelling in the Schengen area, and may stay up to 90 days with no requirements other than having a valid ID card or passport. See European Union#EEA citizens.
- Normal visas granted by any Schengen member are valid in all countries that have signed and implemented the treaty (with exceptions for some overseas territories). The granting country may offer additional rights (such as longer stays or right to work) that apply only locally.
Usage
[edit]This template is usually added as the first paragraph of the Get in section (or a relevant subsection) of articles on Schengen countries.
If the page name or default wording isn't suitable for use in the start of the template text, you may use a parameter (1= or name=):
{{Schengen|The Netherlands is a member}} – which causes "This country" to be called "The Netherlands" instead of "Netherlands" (the rest of the phrase copied from the default). Other use cases include pages with disambiguation suffixes, entities that use the plural and those that aren't members in their own right.
