Michel Barnier, the Prime Minister of the country of France is putting forward a proposal that may tighten various rules for getting a France Schengen visa. These new changes will most likely affect all those countries who have are refusing to take back their nationals. These are the people who have stayed back in the France for a long time than their visa validity. They may also have not adhered to some other rules which is leading the Prime Minister of France to take this step.
At a press conference, the Prime Minister of France has shared that they do not have complete control over the policy of migration of the country.
Due to this, certain measures need to be taken to ensure that everyone enjoys a peaceful stay. However, one of the major reasons why this policy is being pushed forward is because of the countries that are blocking repatriations of its citizens.
Mr. Barnier did not mention any name of the country for which the rules of the Schengen visa application and approval will be tightened. However, this effort may be focused on curbing the travellers from the Maghreb countries.
One of the major reasons for focusing on these countries is because they are refusing to issue consular passes. These are the documents that will allow nationals of these countries to be repatriated to their home country from the France.
Recent data indicates that in the year 2023, citizens or nationalities of Algeria, Morocco, and Tunisia filed for French visas.
In actuality, over 6,70,000 people from the three nations submitted applications for the France visa in order to visit France in 2023.
But, due to the tightening of rules for such countries, many of the applicants did not receive a positive response about their France Schengen visa application.
And now , the Prime Minster of France is putting forward a proposal that will officially tighten the rules for such countries.
