Visa Information System (VIS)	This is designed to improve the issuing of visas in the Schengen territory. The EU plans to set up a Visa Information System (VIS) similar to the SIS. Work on it was commissioned in 2004. All embassies and consulates will consult the system for visa applications and save information to it about the applicant, including ten fingerprints. Embassies and consulates, border control and security authorities will also be granted access to the VIS.
