Cross Border Mobility in the OSCE Region
Visa regimes are not designed to disincentivize the entry of foreign nationals, but to enable states to assess the possible risks of allowing foreign citizens in, before their arrival at the border. By examining visa and visa-free regulations, states are better able to identify the levels at which cross-border mobility is facilitated in the OSCE region and ways in which OSCE participating States have liberalized visa regimes - bilaterally or multilaterally.
