Border Controls?

Hello,

I have a Schengen Visa issued by a Spanish Embassy. I'm planning to go to Spain, and then France. I shall dwell in Spain for 1 day. After I get on a plane in Madrid to go to Paris, will there be any passort control on the Paris airport?

By the way, with this visa, shall i be able to enter France withouth first entering Spain?

Thanks.

Hello,

There is no border control within the Schengen area. This is the principle of the Schengen area itself.

You may enter the Schengen area via a country that is not the one which has issued the visa, but in that case border control authorities mays ask you why you are doing so. If you can't provide a satisfactory answer, you coud be in trouble.

Regards.
