But if not, it does not mean that we do not give a visa. Of course, we will continue to issue visas according to the procedure, ”he said. Siarto stated that it was Schengen visas, in particular, multiple. "The decision that we should terminate the Schengen visas to the Russians was not made," the Hungarian Foreign Minister said. On July 31, the EU foreign ministers have reached a political agreement to completely suspend the simplified procedure for issuing visas to Russian aggressor citizens.
Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have stated that they were ready to take "national measures" to reduce the number of Russians entering their countries until the EU has made a collective decision. Some EU countries, including Germany and France, oppose the full visa prohibition. On September 9, the European Commission provided recommendations for member states for consideration of visa applications submitted by citizens of Russia's aggressor country.
The EC recommended that "show special care" when checking whether applicants from Russia could pose a threat to safety or international relations, and in this case to refuse them on the basis of an individual assessment. EU countries were also recommended to refrain from issuing multiple visas with long validity and more strictly treating real short -term visas. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky called for a complete visa ban for Russian citizens.
