After more than a decade of waiting, Romania and Bulgaria will become full members of Europe’s Schengen free-travel area starting January 1, 2025, following Austria's decision to lift its veto.
The move comes after Austria lifted its veto against Romania and Bulgaria's Schengen membership, which had been tied to concerns over irregular migration along the Western Balkan route.
Earlier this year, Romania and Bulgaria gained partial access to the Schengen area, with air and sea border controls removed. However, land border negotiations continued through 2024. Austria insisted on the stricter border controls for reducing irregular migration, which played a key role in the breakthrough. Austria's decision was influenced by significant improvements in border management by both countries, resulting in a drop in migrant flows, particularly near Hungary—a major route to northern Europe.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis welcomed the decision, emphasizing the economic benefits, including faster border crossings, lower costs for businesses, and a boost in foreign investment. He called the move "a major step for the country's economy and international image."
This marks the end of over ten years of efforts by Romania and Bulgaria to join the Schengen zone, strengthening their ties with the broader European Union.
