Visa Information System (VIS)

Visa Information System or VIS means the Visa Information System established by Regulation (EC) No 767/2008. The VIS allows Schengen States to exchange visa data. It connects consulates in non-EU countries and all external border crossing points of Schengen States. It processes data and decisions relating to applications for short-stay visas to visit, or to transit through, the Schengen Area.
