European Commission proposes new digitization initiatives, including a Digital Travel application
On 8 October 2024, the European Commission proposed two digitization initiatives, including a new EU Digital Travel app, to simplify and secure travel to and from the Schengen Area. If adopted, these changes will benefit both EU citizens and non-EU citizens.
