Schengen Visa

The Schengen Area refers to the European states that have obliterated all kinds of border control measures at their mutual borders including the passport. Some of these 26 Schengen member states include Austria, Belgium, Latvia, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Malta, Portugal, Estonia, France, Czech Republic, Germany and others. In the year 1985, this arrangement was planned under the treaty organization in Luxembourg and the provisions were finally enforced in the year 1995. Once you have attained a Schengen Visa, you have an unrestricted freedom to travel across the entire Schengen area.

If you are a citizen of non-Schengen area then you are required to attain a Schengen visa. You can apply for the visa at the designated embassy or consulate. Depending upon your purpose of visit or travel, you will be given the appropriate type of visa.

Types of Schengen Visas
  • Uniform Schengen Visas (USV) –This visa allows you to reside in one of the Schengen countries for a maximum period of 90 days. The USV applies to all the categories including ‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’, depending upon the purpose of travel.
  • Limited territorial validity visas (LTV) – This type of visa permits you to travel only in the Schengen member state that has actually issued the visa. The LTV is only limited to a specific country and is invalid for any other Schengen state.
  • National Visa- This visa is granted to the people who are planning to study, work or reside permanently in any of the Schengen countries. The candidates looking forward to stay for a certain period of time or for a sole purpose get the single entry type of this visa.
