Traveling to Europe is on almost everyone’s bucket list. From watching the lights sparkle on the Eiffel Tower to sampling different types of beers in Germany, Europe is the most sought-out tourist destination in the world. In order to check off a Europe trip from your bucket list, you need to get a Schengen visa. The Schengen visa allows you to visit any of the 26 countries such as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, France, etc., that are part of the Schengen agreement of 1985. It includes most of Western Europe barring the United Kingdom, Ireland, and some parts of Eastern Europe.
If you want to enter Europe and you are not part of the 60 countries that are allowed to move freely within Europe without a visa, then you have to go through the process of the Schengen visa. Here is everything you need to know about the Schengen tour packageto make your trip go smoothly.
Types of Schengen visa - Depending on why you need to enter any country within the Schengen agreement, you can apply for the Schengen visa that best suits your travel needs. The types of visas are- transit visa, tourist visa, visa to visit friends or family, business visa, education visa, visa for a medical reason, visa for an official visit, and visa for cultural or sports related activities.
When you should apply for a Schengen visa - If you want to apply for a Schengen visa, you should apply for one at least 3 months prior to the date of departure. You can apply for the visa a few days before the trip as well but there is a chance you could get rejected because the embassy will not have sufficient time to go through the application and process the visa.
Where you can apply for a Schengen visa - If you are visiting only one country in the Schengen area, then you can apply for the Schengen visathrough the embassy of that country. If you plan to visit various locations within Europe, then you need to apply for the visa at the embassy of the country where you will be spending the maximum amount of time. For example, if you are going to be staying in Germany for 10 days and the rest of the countries for 1-2 days, then you need to apply for the Schengen visa through Germany’s embassy in your country.
There is no fixed period for approval of the visa - As mentioned above, the embassy needs to be given a proper amount of time to go through your application and process it. If you are going in a peak season, the approval of the Schengen visa could take months. Some people have been lucky and gotten an approval within a few days. It depends mainly on the amount of applications the embassy gets, the season, and whether your application is complete and submitted on time.
Remember that the visa application fee that you pay to the embassy is completely non-refundable so it is very important to make sure your documents are in order. This reduces the risk of the visa getting rejected. Double-check your application and start the process a few months in advance. We hope this article provided all the information you need about a Schengen visa. Have fun crossing that much-awaited Euro-trip off your bucket list!
