The Schengen short-stay visa covers tourism, business, and family visits across the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period.

Where to Apply

Apply to the main destination country (most nights). If there’s no main destination, apply to the first entry country.

What to Prepare

Purpose of travel & itinerary, accommodation proof, Schengen-compliant travel insurance, financial means, employment/leave letter (if employed), and ties to your home country. Biometrics are commonly required.
