Bulgaria and Romania are set to join the Schengen area effective January 1, 2025, allowing free movement without internal border checks.

Bulgaria and Romania joined the Schengen area after a 13-year wait, allowing free movement by air and sea without border checks.

Despite Austria's veto on land routes, Bulgaria and Romania's admission to Schengen holds significant symbolic value and marks an important milestone for both countries.
