TL;DR

Bulgaria and Romania are set to join the Schengen area for maritime and air passengers as of March 2024, following a unanimous decision by the European Council. This expansion will lift controls at air and sea borders, with discussions on land border controls to continue. The inclusion of these two countries is seen as a strengthening of the EU and a historic moment for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens, who will enjoy easier freedom of movement within the Schengen zone, the world's largest area of free movement.
