A Schengen visa is a visa issued under the Schengen Agreement. Named after the Schengen area signed in Luxembourg, the agreement stipulates a single visa policy for member states. There are several ways to apply for a Schengen visa:

1. If you only go to a certain member country, you should apply for a visa for that country, that is, a "country visa". The "country visa" can only be valid for entry and exit from the issuing country, and cannot transit through other Schengen countries to enter the issuing country, otherwise you should apply for a "Schengen visa". The number of days of stay on the visa is only valid for the duration of the visa.

2. In the case of transit through one or more member states to another member state, a visa shall be applied for in another member state (country of entry).

3. To go to several member countries, you should apply for a visa for the main visit to the member country or the member state with the longest stay, and if the main country cannot be determined, apply for a visa for the first country to visit.

If you are only going to travel to a specific Schengen country, you must apply for a visa at the foreign mission of that country; If you want to stay in more than one Schengen country, in principle, you must apply for a visa at the embassy or consulate of the country where you will stay the longest (the main country of stay) according to the itinerary submitted. In cases where the main country of stay cannot be determined, it is possible to apply for a visa to the country of first entry.

Schengen visa: Once an applicant has obtained a visa for a certain country, he or she can travel freely in all Schengen countries for the duration of the visa. The Schengen Agreement also includes a number of principles that must be implemented by passengers to stop at hotels in Schengen countries along the way.

European Schengen tourist visa countries: including Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and other 26 countries.

Aiqu entry and exit professional answers:

A Schengen visa is a short-term visa issued by a Schengen member state that allows a cumulative stay of up to 90 days (any 180 days) in the Schengen area.

The Schengen area consists of 26 countries.

The 22 EU member states are: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

Four other countries, Switzerland, Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland, are not members of the European Union, but they are within the Schengen area.

The concept of a Schengen country visa is somewhat inaccurate, but it should be a national visa for Schengen countries. This is different from the Schengen visa of Schengen countries, it is difficult to say in Chinese, and it is easy to understand in English.

National Visa: National Visa

Schengen visa: Schengen visa

Each Schengen country can issue a national visa and a Schengen visa, but you can use a Schengen visa to enter other Schengen countries, but you can't use a national visa, you can only enter the country that issued the visa. For example, if you get a Schengen visa for Spain, you can enter all the other 24 Schengen countries, but if you have a Spanish visa, you can only enter Spain, and the other Schengen countries are not allowed to enter.

The Schengen visa is a Schengen treaty signed by 25 European countries in Luxembourg in 1985, between these 25 countries, as long as you get a national visa, you can get the right to enter 25 countries, but the premise is that you can enter the country from which you got the visa. The twenty-five countries are: France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Iceland, Norway, etc.

I am an international student in France. The above four countries you mentioned are all EU Schengen countries A tourist visa can do everything I have here to get a French visa and residence card Do a train or plane Schengen countries run casually No problem No need to apply for anything Italy back and forth I don't know how many times I don't know how many times I don't have a problem at all, the ticket you sell is Paris Then go to the French embassy visa But these seem to be managed by travel agencies You don't need to get it yourself.

Of course, if you want to travel independently, then you have to go on your own, and you can apply for a tourist visa to France, and don't listen to the of travel agencies, they just want to overcharge.
