Schengen: Now 100% More Bulgarian and Romanian

This move isn’t just about cutting border queues (although, let’s be honest, that’s a major perk). It’s also a milestone for free movement, trade, tourism, and, of course, solidarity in the EU. With nearly 450 million people now part of the Schengen dream, your next cross-European road trip just got a whole lot easier.

From Air to Sea to Land: They’ve Nailed It All

Bulgaria and Romania didn’t just get invited to the Schengen table out of the blue—they’ve been acing Schengen rules since March 2024, lifting air and sea border controls like pros. With some help from Frontex and the European Commission, they’ve also beefed up external border security, proving they’re ready to keep the EU safe and keep the party going.

What’s in It for You?

Tourism Made Simple: Fancy a weekend in Bucharest followed by a drive to Sofia? Easy peasy—no passports, no headaches.
Trade on the Fast Track: Trucks and goods can move faster than ever, boosting economies across the EU.
Unity Vibes: Because nothing says “togetherness” like ditching border checks and sharing a Schengen-sized hug.

Bulgaria + Romania = A Stronger Schengen

With these two officially on board, the Schengen area isn’t just bigger—it’s better. It’s smoother travel, stronger borders, and a big win for EU unity. So here’s to more seamless road trips, spontaneous holidays, and a truly borderless Europe (well, except the external borders—those are still solid).
