Poland has initiated border checks along its borders with Germany and Lithuania, starting July 7, 2025, to combat illegal immigration and smuggling.
The checks, implemented at 52 border crossings with Germany and 13 with Lithuania, involve inspections of travelers and vehicles. Polish authorities are focusing on preventing unauthorized entry and related criminal activities.
The move follows Germany's increased border controls since October 2023 and is expected to last until August 5, 2025. Travelers are advised to carry valid identification.
