Adjustment to visa services
To combat the further spreading of the coronavirus, the member states of the EU have decided to impose temporary restrictions on non-essential travel to the European Union.
This measure is imposed for a minimal duration of 30 days and does not apply to EU citizens and citizens of the Schengen Associated States, and their family members.
This means that the Consulate General will no longer accept or treat visa applications for the duration of the measure.
It will not apply to travellers with an essential function or need, including:
- Healthcare professionals, health researchers, and elderly care professionals
- Frontier workers
- Transport personnel engaged in haulage of goods and other transport staff to the extent necessary
- Diplomats, staff of international organisations, military personnel and humanitarian aid workers in the exercise of their functions
- Passengers in transit
- Passengers travelling for imperative family reasons
- Persons in need of international protection or for other humanitarian reasons
