The European Commission approved on Thursday the first comprehensive visa strategy at the European Union level. This step marks a significant milestone in creating a single and predictable visa issuance area. The new strategy aims to simplify visa procedures, enhance their security, and strengthen Europe's competitiveness as a tourist and investment destination. The Commission emphasized that this strategy will contribute to economic growth and strengthen ties with the rest of the world. "This strategy is a clear signal that Europe is open for business and tourism," a spokesperson's statement read.
