EU approves removal of Schengen visa for Peru and Colombia

This Tuesday on an unanimously matter, member countries of the European Union (EU) approved the eliminating regulation of the requirement for short-term visas or Schengen visa for Colombians and Peruvians.

This means that Colombians and Peruvians may enter the Schengen countries without visa requirement for a period no longer than 90 days.

However, the measure would take effect in a year or two, depending on a positive assessment by the European Commission, as well as bilateral reciprocal agreements to be signed by the governments of Peru and Colombia towards EU.
