«Eurovisa» is a special type of Schengen visa that will be issued only to those who come specifically for the European Championship. A tourist requesting such a visa must prove that he is going to Euro-2008. Proof is a ticket to a match or — if the tickets have not been printed yet at the time of submitting documents — a certificate for obtaining it in the future», — said Gerald Beem, a representative of the Austrian National Tourist Office in Moscow, on December 6.
«Eurovisa» will be issued at the Austrian consulate, reports IS «Banko». Tourists will have to bring their documents in person. Having received such a visa, they will be able to move freely between Austria and Switzerland, whereas a regular Schengen visa does not provide such an opportunity, since Switzerland is not part of Schengen.
Let us recall that the final tournament of the European Football Championship will be held from June 7 to June 29 in Austria and Switzerland. According to tour operators dealing with sending tourists to Europe, interest in the upcoming championship among fans is already very high.
