Uniform format for visas (codified)

This procedure concerns the codification of existing EU legislation on a uniform format for visas. Codification means restating and consolidating laws that have been amended several times, without changing their substance. It aims to make the rules clearer and more accessible.

This affects travellers entering the EU and border control authorities. It ensures consistency in visa issuance across member states, simplifying procedures for legitimate travellers and strengthening external border management.
