Visas for Europe
Since March 14, 2013, a new visa information system (VIS) has been set up in West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Cape Verde, Ivory Coast, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo) for all applicants wishing to travel to a European country in the Schengen Area. The VIS is a centralized database that allows the exchange of data on short-stay visas between the Schengen States.
All the Consulates of the Schengen States in Dakar will be connected to the VIS and will record the data on short-stay visa applications as well as the related decisions of the visa authorities.
The biometric data of visa applicants - one digital photograph and 10 fingerprints - will also be collected and recorded in the VIS.
The use of biometric identifiers in the visa application process will further protect applicants against identity theft. This will also prevent false identifications, which in some cases can lead to the refusal of a visa or entry into the territory of a person who is entitled to it. The use of biometric technology guarantees safe, precise and efficient procedures.
There are exemptions from taking fingerprints for:
- Children under 12.
- People for whom it is physically impossible to take fingerprints.
- Sovereigns, heads of state and members of national governments, with their official delegations and their spouses, when traveling on official grounds.
Holders of diplomatic passports are not exempt from the obligation to take fingerprints. They can nevertheless be exempted from the visa requirement under exemption agreements granted by certain EU member states.
Government officials and officials traveling to attend regular meetings within the framework of political and technical dialogues (meeting at senior official level, sub-committees) are also not exempt from the obligation to take fingerprints.
The VIS will contain all the requests made by a visa applicant for 5 years as well as the decisions taken by the Consulates on these requests. The VIS central database is very secure and the data will be processed in accordance with the highest data protection standards. Anyone has the right to obtain communication of the data concerning him recorded in the VIS. Anyone also has the right to request that erroneous data concerning them be corrected and data recorded illegally be deleted.
