Since 12 November 2015 the Swedish Police perform ID checks on passengers on incoming Øresundståg trains from Denmark via Copenhagen Airport, in response to the European migrant crisis. Trains arriving in Hyllie have to wait around 15 minutes to be cleared for departure. For Swedish and Nordic citizens, a government-issued ID like a driver's license should suffice. For citizens outside the European Union, Norway and Switzerland, a passport and a permit to travel freely within the EU, like a residence permit, should suffice.https://www.skanetrafiken.se/granskontroller/
