Entering Sweden with an EU ID card

Entering Sweden with an EU ID card - White visiting card with empty space for data placed on light pink background

On the 3rd of August I tried to drive to Sweden with a truck, using also a ferry from Grenå to Varberg. At the entry to the port I had to show my passport, as showing just my Slovenian EU ID card was out of question.

Is this correct, according to EU/Schengen rules?



Best Answer

They were amateurs - absolutely no need to even bring a passport. If that ever happens again and you don't have a passport, just ask to speak to their supervisor - they usually know their stuff.

As a verified EU citizen, they have no right to refuse you entry, other than if you're a security/health threat
