Being EU citizen, when entering Schengen Area I always just show my passport or national ID, officer checks photo and validity and very occasionally swipe it through reader or use UV to check if it ain't false. During 7 years I also was once randomly picked to have my baggage searched by customs (it was very brief and only took less than two minutes).

So it's hard for me to compare EU immigration procedure with those in other countries. That's why I'd like to ask non-EU citizen about their experiences when entering Schengen Area (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland and any EU country except Bulgaria, Cyprus, Lichtenstein, Romania, UK and Ireland) - are you asked questions? What kind of questions? Is process significantly different from other countries?

I'm just interested in how EU-immigration check works. Thanks for all replies
