Q.3 What is Schengen Countries & How About Visas

Currently, the Schengen area consists of 26 European countries Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary,

Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.

Being part of the Schengen area without internal border controls means that you can visit these countries on a single valid schengen visa.

These countries do not carry out border checks at their internal borders (i.e. borders between two Schengen states); carry out harmonised controls, based on clearly defined criteria, at their

external borders (i.e. borders between a Schengen state and a non-Schengen state).

The EU states that are not, or not yet part of the Schengen area, are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom .This means that a flight from one of these states to

a Schengen state is regarded as an external flight and is subject to border checks, and a separate visa of the respective country other than Schengen visa.

The three following factors are determinative on where you should file your Schengen visa application:

The number of countries you will be visiting

The number of days you will be spending in each

The country where you will step in first, in case you visit more than one of the Schengen member states

After having clear three factors given above, then you will be able to decide where to apply, according to the following rules:

If you are planning to visit only one country – then you needs to apply at the respective countries VFS representation of the Schengen country you will be visiting, located in your country of residence.

If you are planning to visit more than one country – then where you need to apply depends on the number of days you will be spending in each of the countries you will be staying.

Q.3 What is Schengen Countries & How About Visas

Currently, the Schengen area consists of 26 European countries Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary,

Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden, along with Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.

Being part of the Schengen area without internal border controls means that you can visit these countries on a single valid schengen visa.

These countries do not carry out border checks at their internal borders (i.e. borders between two Schengen states); carry out harmonised controls, based on clearly defined criteria, at their

external borders (i.e. borders between a Schengen state and a non-Schengen state).

The EU states that are not, or not yet part of the Schengen area, are Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom .This means that a flight from one of these states to

a Schengen state is regarded as an external flight and is subject to border checks, and a separate visa of the respective country other than Schengen visa.

After having clear three factors given above, then you will be able to decide where to apply, according to the following rules:
