The European Union has introduced temporary restrictions on Schengen visa applications for Somali citizens, citing what it described as insufficient cooperation by Somalia in accepting the return of nationals ordered to leave EU member states.
In a statement, the Council of the European Union said Somalia had not adequately cooperated on readmission procedures for Somali citizens staying illegally within the bloc.
Under the new measures, Somali nationals will no longer be eligible for multiple-entry Schengen visas, which allow travellers to enter the Schengen area several times during a visa’s validity period.
The EU has also extended the standard processing time for Somali visa applications from 15 days to 45 days, a move expected to affect those travelling for work, study, tourism and family visits.
