The Council of the European Union has adopted new rules that allow people planning to travel to the Schengen area to apply for a visa online.

The possibility of obtaining an online Schengen visa will make a big difference to citizens and simplify the application process for travelers. At the same time, the new measures will ease the burden on national administrations, which will be able to respond more quickly and effectively.

A special platform will be created for EU visa applications and Schengen visas. Applicants are required to enter all relevant data, upload electronic copies of their travel and supporting documents, and pay their visa fees. The date of application of the new rules will be determined when the platform is ready.
