Decisions on long-term visas for employment, education and research will continue to rest with the 27 EU member-states under their respective immigration laws.
The proposed office does not form part of the binding text of the free trade agreement, and it cannot mandate faster processing, preferential treatment or guaranteed entry. It is expected to function primarily as a facilitation and information hub.
