In order to enter into force, the document must yet be approved by the EU Council. Reform applies to 61 states whose citizens can currently travel to the Schengen area without visas for a short time-up to 90 days during any 180-day period. Advertising: According to the new rules, the European Commission may, on its own initiative or at the request of a third party, start the procedure for suspension of a visa -free regime for citizens of a particular country: first temporarily, then indefinitely. To date, the EU visa waiver has been abolished for only one Vanuatus state.
