Talk:Visa policy of the Schengen Area

Suggestions

In an effort to clean the article up and make it more accessible, I'm proposing the following two changes:

1. Remove the section 'Visa policies of Ireland, United Kingdom and overseas territories'

This is trivial because the article is the Visa policy of the Schengen Area. Yes, it does compare visa policies, but that shouldn't take place on this article.

2. Remove 'means of subsistence'

Largely unreferenced and contravenes WP:NOTTRAVEL.

Let me know what you think. st170e 19:16, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

There is no article called for example Visa policies in the EU, so I don't know in which article the comparison should take place? As for the means of subsistence, I disagree, it's well referenced and very relevant as that is an entry requirement regardless of visa requirement.--Twofortnights (talk) 20:25, 7 August 2018 (UTC)

Travel document requirement

Regarding the entry requirements for Annex II nationals, I have deleted the requirement to 'have a machine-readable passport with digital photo or a biometric passport'. I cannot find any reference to this in Article 6 of the Schengen Borders Code, nor in the Practical Handbook for Border Guards in Part II, Section I, Point 3.1. Article 6(1)(a) simply states that a third-country national has to possess a 'valid travel document' that was issued no more than 10 years ago and is valid for at least 3 months beyond the intended date of departure. If, however, I have missed the reference to this requirement, please feel free to reverse my edit. Thanks. Bonus bon (talk) 09:56, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Croatia's accession to Schengen

Since Croatia was added to the Schengen area, the maps need to be updated. Any information in the article which categorises Croatia with BG, RO, or CY should be edited appropriately. Also, the Euler diagram should be altered. 31.208.29.4 (talk) 02:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

I think everything is updated now. Feel free to correct any instances that may have been missed. Heitordp (talk) 06:29, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

Proposals for visa exemptions before 2019

@Cyfraw: I put the older proposals for visa exemptions in a collapsed box because they don't seem to be under consideration anymore. If you don't want the box, I think that it's better to remove them from the article altogether. Heitordp (talk) 16:27, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

That's not true- the EU is still exploring options for visa facilitation with some of those countries (like Armenia/ see [1]). Archives908 (talk) 21:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

So the countries that are still under consideration should be updated with a more recent source and year, but I think that the others should be removed. Heitordp (talk) 23:40, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

But as long as the Commission has not retracted its proposal, there is still a proposal, however old it is. --Nablicus (talk) 23:50, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Exactly- there isn't deadlines for these... If a proposal has been officially withdrawn, then that country/countries could be moved to a "Former" sub-section. Otherwise, they are all still technically valid unless WP:RS confirms otherwise. Archives908 (talk) 01:13, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
