The European Commission has announced it will look into allowing certain non-EU professionals to stay in the EU beyond the current 90-day rule, as part of a future overall of its visa system. It also asked EU countries to make visa access "simpler and faster" for skilled workers. The European Commission will consider longer short-stay Schengen visas for certain professional categories as a part of the EU visa policy strategy, according to a plan presented in Brussels on Wednesday. But the EU Commission accepts that for certain professionals the 90-days rule is too restrictive.
