Schengen Visa
What is a Schengen Visa?
The Schengen Area is a group of European countries that operate with a common visa policy for short-stay travel. A Schengen visa generally allows eligible travellers to visit countries in the Schengen Area for tourism, business, family visits, or short trips.
A short-stay Schengen visa is usually for stays of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. If your purpose is to work, study, or live in Europe for more than 90 days, you should apply for the relevant national visa of the specific country.

Quick Questions
Does a Schengen visa guarantee entry?
No. A visa allows you to travel to the border, but border officers may still ask questions and check your documents on arrival.
Which country should I apply through?
Usually, you apply through the country where you will spend the most time. If time is equal across countries, you normally apply through the country of first entry.
Can I work on a Schengen visa?
No. A short-stay Schengen visa is generally not for employment. Work, study, or long-term residence usually requires a national visa or permit.
