A new annex to the Visa Code Handbook was published today.

A technical change has been made in the Immigration Regulations Section 3-1 letter e, which does not involve material changes. The provision refers to the EU regulation listing the third countries whose nationals must be in possession of visas when crossing the external borders and those whose nationals are exempt from that requirement, which so far has been regulated by Regulation No 539/2001. This regulation was repealed and replaced by Regulation 2018/1806 of 14 November 2018. Therefore, the Immigration Regulations Section 3-1 letter e is now updated with reference to the correct Regulation. The change takes effect immediately.
