Rule
Under the E-Vize (Elektronik Vize) Regulation (A.E.783/2026, made under Article 20 of the Aliens and Immigration Law), foreign nationals from countries the Council of Ministers designates as subject to the e-Vize scheme apply online for any of the visa types already set out in Article 9 of the Residence Permits and Visas Regulation — it is a channel for existing visa types, not a separate category with its own entry conditions. Application criteria are set by the Ministry. Applications are to be resolved within 30 days, extendable to a maximum of 60 days for administrative reasons.[1]
Exceptions
- Does not establish which countries are currently designated for the e-Vize scheme — that list is set by a separate, inherently volatile Council of Ministers decision, not stated in this Regulation.
- Does not establish the Ministry's specific application criteria under Article 5(1)(B), nor any application fee.
