According to the details, the new online visa system will be
launched later this year. Once in place, the above-mentioned category of
travelers will no longer be required to get physical stamps on their passports
when entering or exiting the Schengen area.
Instead, the Entry/Exit System (ESS) will keep track of
them. The ESS will record information such as name, picture, type of travel
document, date of entry/exit, place of entry/exit, and period of stay.
The ESS aims to revolutionize the processes that the
nationals of third countries are required to follow after entering the Schengen
area. It also envisions empowering these travelers to enter/exit Schengen
countries with ease.
In a recent statement, the EU Parliament announced the
adoption of the report on digitalizing visa processes in the Schengen area with
34 votes in favor, 5 against, and 20 abstentions.
Moreover, the EU Parliament emphasized that digitizing the visa application procedure would guarantee uniform practices across the EU.
