According to Politico, the European Union is discussing a complete halt to issuing multiple-entry Schengen visas to Russian citizens.
Under the new rules, Russians will only be issued single-entry visas. Exceptions will apply only to individuals who have humanitarian reasons or close family ties with European Union citizens.
The restrictions are expected to come into force in the coming days. It is known that the EU abolished the simplified visa regime with Russia in 2022 after the start of the war in Ukraine.
Since then, entry to Europe has become much more difficult for Russians.
