What travel documents you will need to cross the border into another EU country?
Travel documents for EU Nationals
If you are an EU national, you do not need to show your national ID card or passport when you are travelling from one border-free Schengen EU country to another.
Even if you don't need a passport for border checks within the Schengen Area it is still always highly recommended to take a passport or ID card with you, so you can prove your identity if needed (if stopped by police, boarding a plane, etc.).
Travel documents for Non-EU Nationals
If you are a non-EU national wishing to visit or travel within the EU, you will need:
A passport valid for at least 3 months after the date you intend to leave the EU country you are visiting AND the passport must have been issued within the previous 10 years.
You may also require a Schengen visa (see below).
Documents that justifiable reason for your travel.
Proof of sufficient financial resources to support yourself during your stay.
Compliance with any other specific entry requirements for each country you will visit or transit.
