“ The European Union is preparing to further tighten visa rules for Russian citizens, effectively ending the issuance of multiple-entry Schengen visas in most cases. Source: as “Europeyska Pravda” writes, this is reported by Politico with reference to three sources. Details: According to the new rules, Russians will be able to obtain only one-time visas for entering the Schengen area. Exceptions will be made in limited cases – for example, for humanitarian reasons or for people who also have EU citizenship, writes Politico. Strengthened visa rules for Russians “are expected to be officially approved and implemented this week,” the publication said. The EU has already made it more difficult for Russians to obtain visas, suspending a visa facilitation agreement with Russia at the end of 2022 following a full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine. Some member states, notably the Baltic states and Poland, have gone even further by banning or severely restricting the entry of Russians into their territory.”, — write: www.pravda.com.ua
