Romania, Bulgaria to fully join Schengen area from January

Romania and Bulgaria would join Europe’s borderless Schengen area completely from January 2025, Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced.

European Union and NATO members Romania and Bulgaria entered the 29-nation Schengen area by air and sea in March after reaching a partial agreement with Austria. However, negotiations on land entry continued until 2024.

Land borders are a major challenge for the two countries. According to the Romanian road hauliers’ union, truckers typically wait eight to 16 hours at the border with Hungary and 20 to 30 hours at the border with Bulgaria. Meanwhile, in Bulgaria, truckers wait in queues at the borders with Greece and Romania.

Romania believes the country loses 10 billion euros a year, as it is not a full member of the Schengen area, whereas Bulgaria says its economy lost 1 billion euros last year.

The European Commission has maintained for more than 10 years that Bulgaria and Romania fulfil the conditions for joining the Schengen area, but since the decision to admit new members must be taken unanimously, there has always been one or more countries blocking the enlargement.

The interior ministers of Austria, Romania and Bulgaria will meet in Hungary on Friday. Hungary holds the EU Council presidency, having made Schengen enlargement one of its priorities. Ciolacu stated:

The meeting on Friday is very important, that is why I agreed with Hungary’s prime minister I will go to Hungary … on the day interior ministers get together to close the final document. But we already have an agreed calendar. It will happen from 1 January 2025. Those who come home for the holidays will leave much easier after.

The Finance Ministry estimates that joining the European open borders area will add half a per cent to Romania’s annual economic growth.

The Schengen Area is a group of 26 European countries that have agreed to allow passport-holders of any member country to move freely within the area without border controls. This means that if you are a Bangladeshi citizen and you have a Schengen visa, you can travel to any of the 26 member countries without having to go through immigration control.

I'd also like to add that the EU's Schengen Area allows most of Europe's race tracks to be accessed on a single visa. Few other areas have so many race tracks accessible without a second visa, and it's not a coincidence that a lot of racers from the USA (the best-known of those areas) stay in the USA, or at least North America, rather than move to Europe. (The USA also has a deep motorsports culture, but it's quite different to Europe's; the "translation" issues between them are frequently underestimated).

In Depth: Why Europe?

This post is a response to an ask about why F1 driver all eventually must live in Europe to start their careers, and the locations of feeder series. I hope you enjoy!

To start out, you must understand how motorsports began The first races were only centered around Europe (most starting in France) and stayed that way for many years. Cars were much more prevalent in European countries at the time and they held more wealth at this time in history, which allowed them to create a culture around the sport other countries did not have. Series like F1, WEC, and Rally were all started in Europe leading off from this, and to this day all major motorsports are based in European countries. Europe today is the central hub for networking, training, and racing.

When racing started to spread out into the rest of the world (go-karting was invented in the US), branches of low-level series were developed for other countries. They often were not treated (and still aren't) with as much reverence as European series due to their lack of history, and also due to the fact that the major series, like F1, were purely based in Europe. This created a culture where drivers from non-European countries who show extreme promise were sent to compete in European series in order to gain more attention and have better opportunities. Which created even more of a sense that European series were the next level compared to other countries series. In Europe there was also more of a deep culture around racing. There were more training opportunities, better facilities, more sponsorship opportunities, and a clear path to the big leagues. Other countries drivers came for these things, as they believed their careers would grow there more than at home.

But you also hear about European racers sometimes moving country. Well, that is because there are certain countries where a majority of races are held or where big-name teams/series are based out of. For example, Red Bull is out of England, so any driver in their program usually moves there. Another example is that the UK has one of the most well-respected karting series in the world, so often drivers will move their to compete. It all comes down to where success is most readily available. It also sometimes has to do with finances. Motorsports are expensive on their own, but if a driver has to constantly fly to other places it can add up. This is why you see a lot of F1 drivers live in Monaco, which is pretty central to other countries and so is easy to travel from.

As for feeder series, all the major ones are based out of Europe. There are versions of high-level feeder series in other countries (Canada has their own F4 series, as does Argentina, Chile, etc.) but the main feeder series that people really think about are European based. The most well known F4, F3, and F2 series are the European series, and usually drivers use other countries ones as a springboard to get into the Euro series. It is the same for karting.

But I digress. Simply, Europe is the center of high-level motorsport and so any driver with hopes of professionals series success will go there to reap the benefits of the deeply rooted motorsport culture.

Hope this answered your questions!

Cheers,

-B

today’s order of business has been booking train tickets and consulate appointments and filling out paperwork so that I can start the process of formally establishing my dual citizenship and getting an Austrian passport

last time I didn’t think I was allowed do it (and I didn’t have a car or other means of getting to the Austrian embassy in NYC even if I thought I could), but now I’m married with an independent income and proximity to an Amtrak station so I’m getting that shit done before January

even if I don’t ever need to pull a reverse Von Trapp, I’d still be allowed to stay and travel around the Schengen area for as long as I wanted without a visa, which is useful.

Romanian PM: Schengen land border to be applied by Easter

Romania would have access to the Schengen land border by the end of December, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu said, according to Euractiv.

Ciolacu said COREPER could decide on Romania and Bulgaria joining Schengen with land borders early next month. This would mean that controls at land borders would be abolished in March, allowing Romanians to travel across the EU without border controls by Easter 2025, 20 April.

During the Easter holidays, Romanians will very likely be able to travel within the Schengen Area.

Interior Minister Cătălin Predoiu welcomed the statement of Magnus Brunner, Austria’s appointed Commissioner for Home Affairs and Migration, during a hearing in the European Parliament’s LIBE committee. Brunner spoke in favour of Romania and Bulgaria joining the Schengen land border area as soon as possible.

Discussions and negotiations are still ongoing.

At the same hearing, Bulgarian MEP Emil Radev expressed concern about the need for additional funding for border security in countries like Bulgaria.

Current re-established border controls in the Schengen Area

by alguienrrr

Data as of 2023-11-20

Source: https://home-affairs.ec.europa.eu/policies/schengen-borders-and-visa/schengen-area/temporary-reintroduction-border-control_en

Tools: MapChart, KolourPaint

Was trying to find information about the situation and realized there are no real maps visualizing just how bad this nonsense has gotten, so did this one so you too can be disappointed at the current state of Schengen

Feel free to point out any mistakes or inaccuracies, it's kind of hard to find information about how this is actually implemented, especially as it changes quickly, so data might not be completely representative of the real situation

Edit, some corrections:

First, it seems like Slovenia extended its controls with Hungary and Croatia until December 9th, so those borders should be red, pointed out by u/DifficultWill4

Second, many people have pointed out that these controls are generally not strict border controls, check discussions in this thread for more information, I just didn't really know so ymmv; if so, the situation is not as dire as I first assumed

[going-to-superhell]

Whats happened is terrifying and if you feel like you need to leave the US and can here is a list of countries you can stay in without a visa while you get everything sorted out. Feel free to correct or add any information or resources. Note that Barbados only allows visa free entry for six months for citizens of countries within the Commonwealth of Nations which the US never joined.

The Marshall Islands - You can stay as long as you like with a US passport

Georgia - One year

Bermuda - Six months - Need a ticket for return or onward travel, to stay longer or work, study, travel for business or other reasons, you must meet the Bermudian government's entry requirements

Canada - Six months with a US passport

Mexico - 180 days. You'll receive a visa on arrival, authorities advise to avoid being detained or deported, you must complete an online Multiple Immigration Form (FMM) and obtain a QR code

Fiji - Four months - Authorities will issue a visa when you arrive, to get a visa on arrival, you must show proof of booked accommodation and a return ticket

St. Lucia - Six weeks - Must hold a passport valid for at least six months beyond your date of country exit and with one blank visa page

If you want to move to Europe and move freely throughout certain countries then look into moving to one of the countries in The Schengen Area

Note: The Australian government is terrible with immigrants and will take a long time to get a visa here even if you hold a US passport (the wife one of my dads colleagues had to wait 10 years) there probably success stories but we are also fucked down here

[samodivas]

I hope the (eventual?) visas for USAmericans entering the EU follow the same rules as those of Europeans from "shit-list" countries.

You are required to have bought the return ticket (upwards of $600) before you can even get an interview for a visa.

They can deny your visa with zero explanation, despite you having booked/paid for everything as part of the condition to even apply for the visa.

If you do get information on why you're denied, it's because they think your job (software developer making over x5 the minimum wage) just isn't a secure enough reason to guarantee you won't emigrate to a better place where your lack of papers will confine you to dangerous or otherwise inhumane manual labor jobs.

I want the influencer economy to absolutely crash because of this, and influencers in particular to be barred from entering Schengen-area countries/the EU, on the basis of them "not having real financial security" or something.
