The article focuses on European Consulates as key institutions in the filtering of prospective travelers to the Schengen area. Through qualitative research at the Italian Embassy and Consulate in Dakar, the article examines the administrative practices surrounding Schengen visas. The article retraces the path travelers have to face to travel with proper documents toward the Schengen area, seeking to understand how Schengen states and their consulates as ‘dis-located borders’ exercise control over the transnational flows of people on the basis of an alleged ‘migratory risk’. Through the case of an emblematic hotspot of the EurAfrican frontier, it will be attempt to make ‘visible’ bordering practices that are usually hidden behind walls of bureaucracy.
