Bulgaria wants to be among the countries issuing electronic Schengen visas

Photo: Archive

Information connectivity between institutions in Bulgaria will be improved by the end of the year. This will shorten the time for processing documents for access for labor market access of foreign seasonal workers. This was announced by the inter-ministerial working group "Optimization of visa regimes" at the Ministry of Tourism.


The issuing of electronic visas in the Schengen Community is planned to start after 2025. Bulgaria will insist to the European institutions to be among the countries that will take part in issuing them.


In order to speed up the issuance of documents, an external portal for electronic consular services has already been installed in the Serbian cities of Nis and Belgrade and is in the final stages of testing.
