Opinia na temat podstaw prawnych odmowy wjazdu obywateli państw trzecich do strefy Schengen w prawie Unii Europejskiej

Pursuant to the Regulation (EC) No 562/2006 of the European Parliament and Council establishing a Community Code on the rules governing the movement of persons across borders (Schengen Borders Code) border control and determining the possibility of entry to the European Union apply individually to every third country national. One of the conditions of entry of third country nationals into the Union is to have a visa. EU law indicates those third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visa when crossing the external borders of the Union. This requirement applies also to citizens of Russia. The existence of reasons for refusing entry stipulated in the EU law obliges competent authorities of Members States to issue a decision to refuse entry to the European Union for third country national.
