Italy extends border controls for those arriving from Spain for another 15 days

CNN Portugal31 August 2026 at 10:56

Italy extended border controls for those arriving from Spain for another 15 days. The measure had been in effect for almost a month and has now been renewed.

The Italian government justifies this decision with what happened in Ceuta, the Spanish enclave in North Africa. Ceuta was the scene of a significant migratory crisis in recent weeks.

The extension of controls affects travelers entering Italy from Spain, increasing verifications at the borders.

The measure aims to reinforce security and better control the migratory flows that pass through Spanish territory.
