The European Commission adopted updated rules on Schengen visas for nationals of Bahrain, India, Oman and Saudi Arabia.
Key Points:
Background: The Schengen area consists of 29 European countries (25 EU states), and Schengen visas allow for free travel within the area for short stays of a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period.
BAL Analysis: The updated visa code should provide easier access for nationals with an established travel history and the ability to obtain multi-year validity during which holders enjoy travel rights equivalent to visa-free nationals.
