Why is the Schengen Visa one of the best ones out there?
If you want to travel to many countries in three months, you would need a visa for each and every one of these countries but with a Schengen Visa you only need to apply once.
You can learn more about the beautiful continent of Europe, and you can visit many of its countries with a Schengen visa.
Can you travel to another country with the Schengen Visa if you get bored?
If you apply for a visa to Paris and during your stay there you get bored of the French language, don’t worry, the Schengen visa you hold gives you permission to cross the border to other Schengen states.
What are the entry requirements in order to obtain a Schengen Visa?
Citizens of the states that are required to obtain a Schengen visa can stay in Schengen countries if they have these entry requirements:
a valid passport,
a Schengen visa,
medical insurance,
documents that prove their intention of staying and the travel return ticket.
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.
What is the history of the Schengen Visa and how long is it valid for?
The Schengen Agreement is the most important event that took place on 14th of June 1985 in the town of Schengen, Luxembourg.
This was signed by five states which are Belgium, France, West Germany, Luxembourg and Netherlands.
Today this Visa is valid for a short period of time ranging from 90 to 180 days.
Remember you can apply again if you don’t get the Schengen visa on the first try.
The rejection notice you get from the embassy might state that you can not apply again for a certain amount of time, but if it doesn’t you can re-apply at any time.
What to do in case you have to visit another state first from what you’ve applied to in the beginning?
If you have been given a Schengen visa for going to a (for example) conference to another state but meanwhile the conference gets cancelled, you have to inform the embassy about the change and apply for a new visa if needed.
