Create wonderful memories for yourself and your partner by traveling to the Schengen member countries and experience the beauty that Europe has to offer.

You can do this over a week by applying for a Schengen visa.

Do tourists with a residence permit need to apply for the Schengen Visa?

Individuals who own a residence permit by any non-Schengen EU state do not need a visa if they’re planning to stay in any Schengen country for up to 90 days.

What is a Tourist Schengen Visa and how long is it valid for?

You can get a Tourist Schengen Visa if you are from any of the Schengen states and enter the Schengen Area for a maximum period of 90 days within a 6-month period. This kind of visa allows you to travel and visit Europe for pleasure.

Not all European Union countries are part of the Schengen zone and not all Schengen states are part of the European Union.

This is an important fact to know because you will have different visa application procedures for each.

If you get rejected and think that you have gathered the right documents for your visa application and the embassy’s decision is incorrect. 

The right decision for you to take is write an appeal letter to the embassy. In this letter you have to state your personal details, the date your application got denied, the reason why you believe this decision is incorrect and don’t forget to make strong points or else they won’t reconsider your application.

In which embassy should you apply if you want to visit multiple Schengen states?

If you have no clear main destination or the purpose of your trip is the same in all Schengen countries you will visit (ex. Tourism), then you will have to apply at the application center of the member state where you will first travel to. You need to bring your passport with you.

Is the Schengen Visa convenient for tourists who want to travel around Europe?

The answer is yes. Usually, when you want to visit other countries you have to go through visa applications, passport control multiple times. With a Schengen visa, you can do this (visit many places) with just one visa application procedure.

Receiving an answer from the embassy after you have submitted your application is exciting.

If you receive your passport with a visa in it, make sure to check what it says and if it gives you valid permission to the Schengen states.
