South Africa is set to revolutionize visa applications as the Schengen visa process goes digital with the upcoming launch of an online platform.
This new system aims to streamline and modernize the visa application experience for South Africans.
Europe’s Schengen Area is embracing this digitalization, allowing South Africans to apply for visas online, eliminating the need for traditional passport stickers.
This shift not only simplifies the application process but also spares passport holders the effort and costs associated with traditional methods.
The Council of the European Union’s approval marks a significant modernization step in travel procedures.
With this digital transition, gone are the days of document copies, visa handling appointments, and courier fees.
This positive change, set to take effect three weeks after its publication in the EU’s administrative gazette, brings convenience to those planning to explore the Schengen Area.
