The era of sticker-stamped Schengen visas is coming to an end! 🇪🇺✈️ The European Union has greenlit a fully digital Schengen visa system, ditching lengthy paperwork and outdated physical visa stickers.
What’s changing?
🔹 Traditional visa stickers will be replaced by encrypted 2D barcodes
🔹 Applications will move entirely online—no more in-person paperwork hassle
🔹 Enhanced security and faster processing will reshape how travelers experience the Schengen Zone
The transition to a digital system is expected to be completed by 2028, making visa issuance smoother, safer, and smarter.
