The Schengen Area, known for its borderless travel within Europe, has welcomed new members this year, significantly impacting expatriates living and working in Europe.

The EU is all about freedom of movement, the freedom of movement of your capital, of your work, and of you as an individual to move around the EU. And within the Schengen zone, which is primarily an EU construct, this allows people to cross borders without passports and without having to show ID.
