Note(s)

For some third countries (specifically, and as of December 2011, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Georgia, Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia, Russian Federation and Ukraine) there are visa facilitation agreements which facilitate, on the basis of reciprocity, the issuance of visas for an intended stay of no more than 90 days per period of 180 days to the citizens of the European Union and the third country party to the agreement. These are often concluded at the same time as readmission agreements. For more information see the webpage on visa policy.
