E.U. Makes It Easier To Tighten Visa-Free Travel In Schengen Area

The European Union has recently updated its regulations to facilitate the suspension of visa-free travel within the Schengen Area, as reported by Forbes on June 19, 2025. The new rules aim to enhance security and manage migration more effectively by allowing the EU to more swiftly respond to countries that pose risks due to issues like illegal migration, security threats, or non-compliance with readmission agreements. The changes reduce the threshold for suspending visa-free travel from 90,000 to 50,000 unauthorized stays per year and shorten the decision-making process from two years to six months. This adjustment reflects the EU's ongoing efforts to balance the benefits of open travel with the need to protect its borders and maintain public safety.
