Regulation (EU) 2023/850 transferred Kosovo to Annex II and the exemption applied from 1 January 2024 because ETIAS had not begun operation first. - It is a short-visitor visa-waiver baseline only. It does not establish ETIAS timing, work, residence, study, transit, special documents, carrier requirements, national entry conditions, or final admission. - Ireland is deliberately excluded: the EU visa-list Regulation does not establish Ireland's separate national visa policy.
