Overview EU/EER/Schengen
24 Aug 2009
Check which countries are part of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and the Schengen area.
If you hold a valid Schengen visa or a residence permit issued by a Schengen member state, you are allowed to enter other Schengen countries. If you wish to travel to a country that is not part of the Schengen area (but may well be in the EU or EEA), you might need a visa.
Please note: Switzerland is not an EU/EEA member state. EU rules are applicable, however.
