Swedes are foreigners in Switzerland, but with an unrestricted right to enter and exit the Schengen Area (of which both Sweden and Switzerland form a part). The reason why I strongly suspect entering the non-Schengen area as a non-passenger is officially not allowed is in order to have better control regarding who is in the airport for security reasons. Airports are sensitive territory after all | |

| Sep 5, 2016 at 0:38 | comment | added | Level River St | @ZachLipton I agree it isn´t a good idea to lie to border guards, it could get you in trouble. I'd try just saying I'm planespotting. But they probably ask to be helpful. Most common reason I've seen for people being turned away by Immigration on the way to airside is they're lost and heading towards the wrong gate. It saves the hassle of trying to get back to landside when they realise the mistake, which could be a bind for both passenger and Immigration and could make them miss their flight. Swedish citizen can´t be denied access to Switz for a minor misdemeanour. Other nationalities can | |

| Sep 4, 2016 at 20:20 | comment | added | Crazydre | @ZachLipton I've got the impression that there are things bothering them a lot more than a plane-spotting brat. If someone were to catch me and disapprove, I'd tell them the truth and apologise if necessary. However I've done it 20 times so far and no one notices - I don't exactly act suspiciously on purpose when hanging in the area | |
| Sep 4, 2016 at 20:16 | comment | added | Zach Lipton | Glad to know you can get back, but I'm, er, not sure that lying to border guards (even when EU citizenship makes that check largely a formality) is really a great plan. | |
