The Visa Information System (VIS) allows countries that are part of the Schengen area to exchange information on visas to avoid ‘visa shopping’ and help fight illegal immigration. eu-LISA keeps VIS operational and in service 24/7, allowing national authorities to constantly exchange and share information.

eu-LISA is part of the network of Agencies in the area of justice and home affairs (JHA). This brochure gives an overview of the missions and tasks of all the EU justice and home affairs agencies.
