Individuals who transit through a country other than the one where they were born are often called “foreigners”. In much of the world, it is necessary, to enter a certain nation, the possession of a series of documents, with which one would enter legally. However, in the European Union, a political community established in Europe, which aims to unify and guide the mandate of each of the countries belonging to it, it is possible to circulate around the continent with only the official identity document of the country or the passport, without previous procedures concerning the visa. This is known in the area as "community foreigner", who can enjoy a stay -no longer than a month- in a State, without the need to render accounts before a competent administrative entity.
The opposite of this immigration statute is the one known as “non-EU foreigner”. This applies to all those European citizens who are from countries not members of the European Union or the Schengen area (Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Switzerland), one of the greatest achievements of the EU, in which citizens who were born in these countries can enter, leave and circulate within them.
In order to enter one of these nations, it is also necessary for the person to carry out a series of bureaucratic processes, appropriate for their legal entry, such as a visa or obtaining a residence card.
