Extract :
FORMALITIES TO BE COMPLETED WHEN ENTERING ANOTHER EU COUNTRY
As an EU citizen, you and your family have the right to enter any other
EU country with only a valid ID card or a valid passport. Ensure that all
your family members have identification documents. Members of your family
are considered to be your spouse, children under 21 (or dependent on
you), as well as your parents and your spouse’s parents, if they are also
dependent on you.
If some of your family members are third-country nationals, ensure that
you have requested a visa for them. |
