Council of the European Union to consider new visa restrictions for Russians
Published
A working group of the Council of the European Union plans to hold a meeting on October 14. The main topic of discussion will be the potential tightening of the visa regime for citizens of the Russian Federation.
Experts will focus on so-called "non-essential travel." This concerns tourist visits and other types of travel that are not considered critical or humanitarian.
At the moment, EU representatives are discussing exactly what measures might be taken to restrict entry. It is expected that the new rules could complicate the process of obtaining Schengen visas for Russians planning trips to European countries.
The issue of visa restrictions remains relevant for many Russian citizens who regularly visit European countries. The decisions made by the working group could significantly affect border crossing rules in the near future.
Official clarifications are expected to be published following the meeting on October 14. Stay tuned for updates to learn how visa requirements and entry rules for European Union countries will change.
