EU supports restricting tourist visas for Russians

Observador2 September 2026 at 21:57

The European Union has expressed widespread support for restricting tourist visas for Russian citizens. Estonia's Prime Minister Kaja Kallas announced that the 27 member states expressed "broad support" for this measure, indicating growing consensus within the European bloc.

The case that drove this debate concerns the suspect in the drone attack in Leipzig, Germany. This individual reportedly entered the European Union territory with a tourist visa issued by Italy, raising concerns about border controls and security within the Schengen area.

The proposal aims to impose restrictions on tourist visas granted to Russian citizens, limiting entries to the European bloc for leisure purposes. This measure comes in a context of geopolitical tensions related to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The decision represents a significant shift in EU visa policy for Russian citizens, who previously could move more freely throughout the European space. The member states have shown convergence on the need to strengthen controls, although the concrete details of implementation have yet to be defined.
