Yttre gräns

The external border (yttre gräns) is the Schengen area's common border towards the outside world, where passports are always checked. Within Schengen you can travel between the countries without border control, while the control instead takes place when someone passes into or out of the area. It means the external border is common to the countries, and it is there that travellers towards the outside world are checked.
