European Union visa lists
- European Union visa lists
The European Union has unified visa policy as part of the Schengen acquis. A number of EU member states do not participate in this policy, notably including Ireland and the United Kingdom, consequentially maintaining independent immigration policies with respect to non-EU states.
Visa requirements for Schengen member countries
There are two lists:
# "negative visa list" of countries (annex I of the Council regulation) from whose citizens a visa is required to enter the territory of the EU member states
# "positive visa list" of countries (annex II) from whose citizens no visa is required to enter the territory of the EU member states for a period of maximum 90 days.
Annex I countries
* All countries and territories not mentioned below.
Annex II countries
* All countries and territories that are members of the Schengen acquis, of the EU or of EFTA.
Additionally:
Visa-free travelling for EU citizens
EU citizens do not require visas to travel to the EFTA and EU countries, additional visa-free and visa-on-arrival countries are listed on the relevant passport pages.
