With the most common type of Schengen visa, you will be allowed to travel the Schengen Area for tourist or business purposes for 90 or fewer days within a six-month period.
If you get a multiple-entry Schengen visa, you will be allowed to exit and re-enter the Schengen Area an unlimited number of times within a 180-day period. However, the total number of days you spend in the designated area cannot exceed 90 days.
A Schengen visa is a short-stay visa that allows a person to travel to any members of the Schengen Area, per stays up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes.
The Schengen visa is the most common visa for Europe. It enables its holder to enter, freely travel within, and leave the Schengen zone from any of the Schengen member countries. There are no border controls within the Schengen Zone.
However, if you are planning to study, work, or live in one of the Schengen countries for more than 90 days, then you must apply for a national visa of that European country and not a Schengen Visa.
Over 15 million people used their Schengen visa in 2019 to travel around Europe.
Additional things to keep in mind:
• You will need a valid passport to enter any and all Schengen countries. The passport must be good for an additional 3 months after your stay is expected to end. For example, if you plan to travel the Schengen Area for one month, your passport must be valid for at least four months from your travel start date.
• If you are a non-EU traveller, you will be required to obtain a stamp on your passport no matter what country you are entering. If you do not have the stamp in your passport when you try to leave the Schengen Area, you may be questioned and required to prove how long you have been in Europe.
• If you are not traveling for business or tourism, you will need to apply for the Schengen Visa appropriate to the nature of your trip. If you are unsure whether you qualify for a Schengen visa, contact the embassy or consulate of the Schengen country you will be entering.
