Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece,
Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden,
Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic,
Slovakia, Slovenia, and Malta. The Schengen Visa, issued by any Embassy
or Consulate of the above mentioned countries, allows the holder to
travel freely within the Schengen countries. However, entry can be
refused if not all admission requirements are fulfilled upon entering
the Schengen territory.
Please note that while requirements

wherever an application is made, the processing may vary from one
country to another.
You should expect a processing time of at least 30 days. In some cases the waiting period could be considerably longer.
• Types of short-stay entry visas
- Airport transit visas
This visa entitles a foreign citizen
to pass through the international transit area of airports without
actually entering the national territory of the country concerned,
during a stop-over or transfer between two stages of an international
flight.
- Transit visas
This visa entitles a foreign citizen
who is travelling from one Third State to another Third State to pass
through a Schengen territory.
- Short-term or travel visas
This visa entitles a foreign citizen
who seeks to enter the Schengen territories, for reasons other than
immigration, to pay a continuous visit or several visits, the duration
of which does not exceed three months in any half-year from the date of
first entry. As a general rule, this visa may be issued for one or
several entries.
- Short-stay or travel visas: multiple entry visas
In the case of a foreign citizen who
needs to travel frequently to one or several Schengen States, for
example on business, short-stay visas may be issued for several visits,
provided that the total length of these visits does not exceed three
months in any half-year. This multiple entry visa may be valid for one
year, and in exceptional cases, for more than a year for certain
categories of persons.
• Long-stay visas
Visas for visits exceeding three
months, whether for study, training, working or residence, shall be
national visas issued by one of the Member States in accordance with its
national legislation. These types of visas are only valid for the
national territory of the concerned country.
Please contact the Consular Section to inquire about the specific requirements for these types of visas.

particular Schengen country, you must apply at the Embassy or Consulate

or Consulate of the country of your first point of entry.
If you do not need a visa for the
particular Schengen country of your main destination or first point of
