I-European Commission ishicilele iziphakamiso ezintsha mayelana nenqubomgomo ye-visa endaweni ye-Schengen. Ukwenziwa ngcono kwama-visa kuyisimo sangaphambili sempumelelo eqhubekayo yase-Europe njengendawo yohambo olude. Ngokukhula kokubaluleka kwe-China ne-India njengezimakethe zemithombo, kanye nezinye izimakethe zase-Asia ezidinga ama-visa ezibonisa ukukhula okuqinile, izinguquko eziphakanyisiwe sezidlulelwe yisikhathi.
Iziphakamiso zihlanganisa okulandelayo:
• Izinqubo ezisheshayo nezivumelana nezimo: Isikhathi sokwenza izinqumo sezicelo ze-visa sizoncishiswa sisuka ezinsukwini eziyi-15 siye kweziyi-10. Kuzokwazi ukuthi abahambi balethe izicelo zabo kuze kube yizinyanga eziyisi-6 ngaphambi kohambo lwabo oluhleliwe, esikhundleni sezinyanga ezi-3 zamanje, futhi bagcwalise futhi basayine izicelo zabo nge-elekthronikhi.
• Ama-visa amaningi okungena asebenza isikhathi eside: Imithetho evunyelanisiwe izosebenza kuma-visa amaningi okungena ukuze kuvinjelwe kangcono “ukuthenga ama-visa” kanye nokunciphisa izindleko nokonga isikhathi Samazwe Angamalungu kanye nabavakashi abavamile. Ama-visa amaningi anjalo okungena azonikezwa abahambi abajwayelekile abathembekile abanomlando we-visa omuhle isikhathi esikhula kancane sisuka ko-1 siye eminyakeni emi-5. Ukugcwaliseka kwabahambi kwemibandela yokungena kuzoqinisekiswa ngokuphelele nangokuphindaphindiwe.
• Ama-visa esikhathi esifushane emingceleni yangaphandle: Ukusiza ezokuvakasha zesikhashana, Amazwe Angamalungu azovunyelwa ukukhipha ama-visa okungena kanye ngqo emingceleni yangaphandle yezwe kanye nolwandle ngaphansi kwezinhlelo zesikhashana, zenkathi ethile ngaphansi kwemibandela eqinile. Ama-visa anjalo azosebenza ukuhlala isikhathi esingangezinsuku ezingu-7 eZweni eliyiLungu elikhiphile kuphela.
• Izinsiza ezengeziwe zokuqinisa ukuvikeleka: Uma kubhekwa izindleko zokucubungula ezikhuphuke kakhulu eminyakeni edlule, kuzokwethulwa ukwenyuka okusesilinganisweni kwemali ye-visa (kusuka ku-€60 ukuya ku-€80) – okungakakhuphuki kusukela ngo-2006. Lokhu kwenyuka okusesilinganisweni kuhloselwe ukuvumela Amazwe Angamalungu ukuthi agcine amazinga anele ezisebenzi zamanxusa emhlabeni wonke ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuhlolwa okuqinile kwezokuphepha, kanye nokuthuthukiswa kwemishini ye-IT nesofthiwe, ngaphandle kokumela isithiyo kwabafake izicelo zama-visa.
“Ukwakhiwa kwesicelo esifushane se-Schengen Visa esinikeza ukufinyelela emazweni angama-26 kuyinzuzo enkulu embonini yezokuvakasha yaseYurophu; manje kufanele sithuthukise ukunikezwa. IKhomishana kufanele inconywe ngokuxoxisana ngokushesha kanye nesethi ecacile yeziphakamiso ezingasetshenzwa ezibhekana nakho kokubili ukuhleleka nokuphepha. Sinxusa Amazwe Angamalungu kanye nePhalamende LaseYurophu ukuthi babambe leli thuba ukuze bawasekele. Uma inqubekelaphambili ishesha, kuzolandela ukwakhiwa kwamathuba emisebenzi. Uma kungenjalo, ithuba lizoqhubeka livuna ezinye izindawo. Ngenkathi inani labantu abafika emazweni aseYurophu liqhubeka nokukhula isabelo salo sonke siyehla. Kufanele sithuthukise ukwamukela kwethu futhi sikhuthaze izimakethe ezisafufusa ukuthi zikhulise amabhizinisi azo ase-Europe.” kusho u-Tim Fairhurst, uMqondisi Wenqubomgomo, i-ETOA.
