Bulgaria and Romania are expected to soon start issuing short-term Schengen visas to foreign nationals who need the document to enter the Schengen Area, reported from Schengenvisa.

Clarifying for Fragomen, officials of the EU said that both countries, Bulgaria and Romania, are expected to start issuing Schengen C visas that permit entry and stay in the area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period, from April 1, 2024, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.

The issuance of Schengen short-stay visas by the two countries is closely linked to the decision of the EU Council to allow Bulgaria and Romania to partially access the Schengen Area.

The EU decided just recently to lift border controls at air and sea borders with Bulgaria and Romania in March, welcoming the two countries to the zone.
