The European Commission is easing visa rules to overcome the economic crisis and attract qualified labor.

Axar.az reports that within this framework, it is planned to extend the 90-day stay limit in the Schengen area for 6 strategically important professional groups and switch to a single EU system instead of bilateral agreements.

This group includes artists on tour, athletes participating in international events, specialists working on cross-border projects, workers supporting the EU industrial and service sectors, truck and logistics drivers providing services to EU countries, and consultants working on regional projects.
