What is the change? Portugal has instituted temporary border checks as a security measure for Pope Francis’s visit.
What does the change mean? Travelers should carry proper identification and prepare for delays when entering Portugal this week. Border checks have been implemented at all points of entry, and all borders are being closely monitored.
BAL Analysis: Travelers should prepare for delays when entering or leaving Portugal. Portuguese nationals should be sure to carry their ID card when crossing borders, and foreign nationals, including EU nationals, should be sure to carry their passport. Border checks are expected to be lifted Sunday, when normal Schengen Area rules will be reinstituted.
