__NOTOC__
The '''Schengen Agreement''' (named after the village [[Schengen]], a village directly on the three border point of [[Germany]], [[Belgium]] and [[Luxembourg]], where it was signed), as far as travellers are concerned, basically dissolves borders control within all member countries. Once you have entered the Schengen area, you may travel freely within all member countries for 90 days in a six-month period without having to cross passport control points. If you are a citizen of one of these countries, you can travel within all member countries without any limits and without a passport. Therefore, the Schengen agreement extension will reveal to be an hassle for non-[[European Union|EU]] passport holderholders, as the nearest border to cross and back (for a new 90 days) will be less reachable.
For Canadian, US, Australian, Neo-Zelandese passport holders, the remaining options will be to cross to the [[United Kingdom]]/[[Ireland]] or go down to the [[Balkans]] and [[Ukraine]] once you're nearing your 90 days limits within Schengen. The UK border is probably the worst of these options in terms of chances of being sent away or denied entry.
