General Information on Schengen Short Term or Travel Visas


General information
In 1995 a new type of visa - Schengen visa - was introduced by some EU countries.
Schengen Visas are now issued by

Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

The issue of such visa is discretionary and depends on examination of each individual case, including purpose of visit and intention to return. If you intend to visit one of the Schengen countries for business, as a tourist or for a personal/private visit, you must first obtain a Schengen visa, which is valid in all Schengen countries. This normally enables you to visit any, several or all above mentioned countries and move freely in all of the Schengen countries during one trip within the validity of the visa. A Schengen visa is not appropriate if you wish to remain in a Schengen member state for longer than 3 months or take up employment or establish a business or trade or profession.

Apart from these so called Short-Term or Travel Visas there are 2 other types of Schengen visas: The airport transit visa allows holders to pass through the international transit zone of an airport of a Schengen member state without giving access to the national territory of the Schengen Member State. The transit visa enables applicants to pass through the territory of one or more Schengen member states on their way to another country outside the Schengen area. Please note that the documents required for both the airport transit visa and the transit visa may differ from those required for the short stay entry visa.

This visa information only concerns applications for ShortTerm or Travel Visas;
