        Hotels and rentals require they are filled out, either there, or ahead of time.

          Visas are the permission a government gives to non-citizens to enter their borders. This competency has been given to the EU to manage as part of the Schengen Area, which is a visa-free zone for all EU citizens.

          How is a group of towns going to start restricting access to their communities without seeing up a border?

          And why would a German doesn’t need a visa to visit Spain, why would a hotel ask for something they don’t have?

            When I, as an American, arrive at a hotel or rental in Mexico, I must present, or at that time process a visa entry form. That and my passport are logged by the provider.

            One can assume they file that form with the government.

            If I try to book further stays, beyond the allowable limit, the booking would be blocked, and I would be in trouble with the government / informed I need to leave promptly.

            Think more flexibly dude, other places are already handling this.

            Because you are so rigid in your thinking, let’s drop the word “visa” and construct a new idea (uh oh!) And call it a “tourism allowance”

              When you cross a border.

              When you, as an American, travel to Florida, do you need a visa?

                Hardly the same…the Schengen zone is not a “United States”.

                Further, I’m all set here cause you clearly want to just jerk off on the idea that existing law doesn’t allow for improvements on the system, when I’m clearly discussing moderate, wellness based changes to particularly impacted areas.

                If this is how everyone involved.thinks, enjoy your puking tourists in silence

              That’s not how the EU works. The EU allows freedom of movement from any member state to another. You don’t need a visa, or even a passport, to go across borders in the EU; you just go. Be it for tourism or working.
