| Visa policy of the Schengen Area
The visa policy of the Schengen Area is set by the European Union and applies to the Schengen Area and to other EU member states without opt-outs. If someone other than a European Union, European Economic Area or Swiss national wishes to enter the Schengen Area, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus or Romania they must have a visa or be a citizen of a visa e-x-empt country.
The Schengen Area consists of twenty-two European Union member states and four non-members: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland. Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus and Romania are not yet part of the Schengen Area, but nonetheless have a visa policy that is based on the Schengen acquis.[1]
Ireland and the United Kingdom opt-out from the EU's visa policy and instead operate their own separate visa policies. As do certain oversea territories of EU and EEA member states.
European Union citizens, European Economic Area nationals and Swiss citizens are not only visa-e-x-empt but are legally entitled to enter and reside in each other's countries. Their right to the freedom of movement in each other's countries can, however, be limited in a small number of situations.
