For the time being until April
Border controls with the Czech Republic and Slovakia remain in place
Due to illegal migration, Austria is maintaining its extraordinary controls at the Schengen border with the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
The controls were already extended a few days ago until April 15, 2025, confirmed a spokesperson for Interior Minister Gerhard Karner on Tuesday. The controls are necessary in order to close gaps in the control network and thus prevent evasive movements by the smuggling mafia.
Checks with Hungary and Slovenia to be extended
It is also expected that border controls with Hungary and Slovenia will be extended by six months from November 12, 2024.
Border controls are not actually planned within the Schengen area and must be reported to the EU Commission.
Germany is taking a similar approach to Austria
In addition to Austria, however, several other Schengen member states, including Germany, are maintaining border controls due to concerns about illegal migration or security concerns.
