Do I have more chance to be refused at Schengen border next time?

Do I have more chance to be refused at Schengen border next time? - Free stock photo of achievement, business, chance

As a citizen of a country with no visa requirement for entering the Schengen zone, I was given a "refusal of entry at the border" copy of the document for no justifying the purpose and conditions of stay (E) and somewhat arguable means to return my origin country (G), which was understandable at the moment, as I had an overdue bank statement, saying I have enough funds. But previously had no exceptions like this.

Will this misconception affect my further travelings? Or will be recorded in any information system so border authorities had more chance to interrogate with me more on this?

Under the terms of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have a right to know what information is held about you by any company or organisation that is in the EU. This applies even if you aren't a EU citizen or resident. However, state organisations do have the right to withhold some information for state-security reasons.

You can ask the immigration authority of the country who refused you entry, and ask for a copy of your records. There may be a charge for this; I think it is capped at €15. We have a list of how to contact EU immigration authorities, that you can use to determine the contact details.

This is a called a 'subject access request', and you should provide as much information as you can. I would recommend providing

  1. Name and date-of-birth
  2. Passport number and issuing authority
  3. Date and location of attempted entry

They have to respond speedily to the request (I can't remember the timescales), thought they can reply saying the need some time to gather the information
