The European Union intends to simplify procedures for obtaining visas in the Schengen area. Schengen visas will soon become more secure and accessible, as the European Parliament approved a law on the digital transformation of the visa process.

The initiative is designed to simplify and speed up the visa application process, reduce costs and increase security, as digital visas will be difficult to counterfeit. Visa applications are planned to be accepted through a single online platform.

The legislation will come into force from 2025 on a voluntary basis, and from 2031 or 2032 it will become mandatory for use.
