Poland has extended its border controls with Germany and Lithuania for another six months, according to an official announcement.
The extended checks will run from October 2, 2026 through March 30, 2027, continuing a system Warsaw has maintained for an extended period amid concerns over irregular migration and security along its western and northeastern frontiers.
The move keeps temporary checks in place within the Schengen area, which normally allows passport-free travel between member states, though countries retain the right to reintroduce controls temporarily citing security or migration concerns.
Poland has periodically renewed similar border measures in recent years, citing the need to monitor crossings linked to migration routes into the European Union.
