EU Could End Visa Waivers for United States & Canada

By Michael B. Baker / 13 April 2016 / Contact Reporter

The European Union may start requiring visas for visitors from both the United States and Canada, according to TheWall Street Journal. The European Commission is discussing the move because neither country has visa waivers in place for all member nations of the EU. Both require visas for travelers from Romania and Bulgaria, and the United States also requires visas for travelers from Croatia, Cyprus and Poland. The commission has asked governments and lawmakers in the EU to comment on the course of action by July 12.

Global Business Travel Association executive director Michael McCormick said a visa waiver suspension would be detrimental to business travel between Europe and the United States and Canada.
