Making life a holiday with interesting vacation and adventure ideas.

Hungary is expected to join the EU's passport-free travel area (Schengen area) on January 1, 2008, which allows for passport-free travel between participating countries.

There is usually a passport or ID check for air travel inside the Schengen area, but not for surface travel and a common visa is available for nationals from non-participating countries wishing to travel to the area.

Currently 15 countries have implemented the agreement, including non-EU members Iceland, Norway and Switzerland, and a further 15 countries are signatories. Eight of the other signatories are also likely to join with Hungary, leaving the United Kingdom and Ireland as the only two EU members not to fully implement the Schengen Agreement.

This free-travel policy is in contrast to the policy direction of the U.S., where nationals are now to be required to have passports when crossing the U.S./Canadian border.
