Re: Visa checking at borders. Posted: Fri March 20, 2009 07:49 AM UTC
The situation with Liechtenstein is complicated. Currently Liechtenstein is not part of the Schengen Area, but it will become part later this year. This is a problem at the moment, as Switzerland has joined the Schengen area, and traditionally the border between Switzerland and Liechtenstein was always open.
Currently the situation is as follows:
- Switzerland - Lichtentstein border is still open. (It would be pointless to build expensive border checkpoints, only to tear them down in a year), but there is video surveillance. Passports are not checked.
- Lichtenstein - Austria border is still manned, and passport checks are still preformed (by Swiss borderguards!)
