Austrian / Hungarian border
Hello
My sister is writing an assignment about immigration from Eastern Europe. She is interested in what the current status is of the border between Hungry and Austria. More specifically, is there passport control on: 1 Each road crossing the border 2 Train stations either side of the border 3 Green field type borders areas between roads It would be great to hear from someone that had been to the area recently. Many thanks |

Many thanks Hi - can give you a bit of info on the trains: Came by train from Hungary into Austria (Budapest-Vienna) last month, and there was an outgoing passport check on board by a Hungarian official soon after leaving Budapest, and an incoming one by an Austrian official just prior to entering Austria. From Czech republic there was passport control at Breclav, two guys (one Czech, one Austrian) jumped us as soon as we hopped on the train bound for Vienna. Regards David Bennetts Australia |

Austrian / Hungarian border
Hello
My sister is writing an assignment about immigration from Eastern Europe. She is interested in what the current status is of the border between Hungry and Austria. Austrias borders to the east are perimeter borders of the Schengen treaty. This concerns the countries CZE, SLK, HUN and SLO. More specifically, is there passport control on: 1 Each road crossing the border Haven't crossed into Hungary on the road yet. But the AUT-SLO crossings are rather relaxed. My last experience was, that leaving Austria was unchecked, the others, entering Austria and leaving/entering SLO, were checked border crossings. Although on a very relaxed basis. 2 Train stations either side of the border As far as I know immigration controls are done on the moving train. My experience is from Spielfeld/Maribor (AUT-SLO), Hegyeshalom (AUT-HUN) and Hohenau/Breclav (AUT/CZE). On these border crossings usually 2-3 border patrol officers, often carrying a laptop for detailed passport checks, enter the train and do their checks during travel. So they get off at the first station before or after the border. E.g. for travelling to the Chech Republic, Austrian officials start their border patrols already shortly after leaving Vienna. 3 Green field type borders areas between roads There is no more iron curtain. But as far as I know, the Austrian Army is still on a special Hungarian border patrol and assistance assignment. Primaryily to deflect illegal border crossings, immigrants from all the eastern countries reaching as far as Tchechnya and Afghanistan using "facilitators". It would be great to hear from someone that had been to the area recently.

Many thanks as far as I know. crossing from germnay or Austria you will be subject to control made by authorities of the Nieghbouting countries ( Czech republic, slovakia, hungary adn slovenia.) sometimes you will find mixed patrols with Schengen policemen.. that teach the others. it is possible that you find italian policemen in slovakia or czech republic. |

The journey was odd in that the station didn't sell tickets for the trip, instead you had to pay the conductor on the train. Looking out the window, we saw a couple of soldiers near the railway in the rough area of the border - so if you are planning an invasion, that might not be the best place :-) There were passport checks onboard the Wien - Bratislava (SK) train I did this April, then on Bratislava - Breclav (CZ), Ostrava (CZ) - Katiowice (PL) and Szczecin (PL) - Angermuende (DE) trains. Plus all the faffing around in Brussels for BE-GB! -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |

There would certainly be plenty of places in the hills you could cross with few problems. I'd do some research first of course, but I'm sure it's doable. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

Austrian / Hungarian border
The whole header, and followups smells as a SCAM.
I suspect that some people trafickers are asking for info, on where they can infiltrate more illegals into Austria, either for the sex trade, or as slave labor!! Suggest Interpol may already have a file on the original poster? For sure the authotities in Vienna are very interested.

The Austrian army has a pair of soldiers stationed every 2-3 km along the entire length of the border, 24/7. Most of them are equipped with night vision goggles. Even if you do manage to slip through this tight net, the police will arrest anyone looking suspicious in villages near the border. I don't know the exact statistics, but from what I've heard only a third of the illegal immigrants make it. Good chances, really. -- --- DFM - http://www.deepfriedmars.com --- -- |

The journey was odd in that the station didn't sell tickets for the trip, instead you had to pay the conductor on the train. I did Vienna to Sopron and back a couple of weeks ago. Both Austrian and Hungarian immigration and emigration controls take place in the international part of Sopron station. There is also a ticket counter, but it may not have been open when you were there. It certainly sold me a ticket - the GySEV clerk quoted me a fare in Euros, but was happy to accept Forints when I offered them. I'm pretty sure I've bought international tickets from the domestic ticket office in the other part of the station in the past.

Plus all the faffing around in Brussels for BE-GB! If you travel from Vienna to Bratislava Petrzalka on one of the hourly shuttles, the passport control is at Petrzalka station. I assume it's done on train for the few trains which go beyond Petrzalka. -- Regards Mike mikedotroebuckatgmxdotnet |
