More than 2,000 people have been unable to travel from the main international train station in Budapest, Hungary. Officials stopped allowing migrants to travel to Germany and Austria without a visa from the European Union. The migrants had been waiting near the station for weeks. Many have been seeking to travel on to Germany and Austria.
At first, officials said they would permit the migrants to leave the station without checking for visas, but later changed their decision.
The officials said they are trying to follow European Union rules. E.U. rules say migrants must seek asylum in the first country they enter.
Hungary is a main migrant entry point to the European Union with more than 156,000 arriving this year.
