What is an "EU Passport"?

The EU passport is a collective term for EU country passports. There are a total of 28 EU member states, and holding a passport from any country is equivalent to obtaining a permit to work and live in 27 other countries. The European Union itself does not issue passports, but passports issued by the 28 member states of the European Union have common design standards, including Burgundy red covers, with the words "European Union" on the cover (pre-1997 "Europe Community "), with the same security measures and biometric passports. The passports of these countries are collectively referred to as EU passports.
