EU Clamps Down on Russian Travel with Stricter Visa Rules

                            EU tightens rules for multiple-entry Schengen visas for Russian passport holders



The European Union has introduced tougher visa restrictions for Russian nationals, ending the practice of granting multiple-entry permits. Under the new rules, Russians will need to apply for a fresh visa each time they wish to enter the bloc.

Officials say the change is aimed at tightening security and preventing misuse of travel privileges. The move comes amid heightened concerns over migration, sabotage, and other risks linked to Russia’s ongoing conflict with Ukraine.

Exceptions will remain in place for certain groups, including dissidents, independent journalists, human rights defenders, and family members of EU citizens. Transport workers may also qualify for short-term multi-entry visas to keep essential services running.

EU leaders emphasized that travel to Europe is a privilege, not a right, and argued that the new rules are necessary to protect public safety. The policy marks one of the most restrictive measures on Russian mobility since the war began, signaling the bloc’s determination to balance openness with vigilance.
