A Schengen visa is a type of short-stay visa that allows its holder to travel in and out of the European Union’s 26 member states. It is issued by the individual country where you are applying for it and it can be used for a certain number of days.
The Schengen Visa consists of three types – transit without stopping in any country; transit with staying in one or two other countries; or a long-stay visa which allows its holder to stay in Europe for more than 90 days.
What documents do I need for a Schengen visa?
