Visas
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what information has been passed to the UK Government under the Schengen visa information system about the number of Schengen visas that have been (a) refused and (b) revoked.
- Answer
-
The visa information system (VIS) will be a database that assists in the issuing of Schengen short stay visas. It is unlikely to be operational until 2007 and therefore no information from the VIS has been passed to the UK to date.The UK, as do other member states, has access to information on Schengen visa applications including the number of visas issued and refused by member states.
