How to apply for Schengen visa

Schengen visa processing refers to the visa processing issued according to the Schengen Agreement, which is named after its signing in Schengen, Luxembourg, and defines the current single visa processing policy of member countries. According to this agreement, visas issued by any Schengen member country are also valid in all other member countries, and there is no need to apply for visas. The country implementing this agreement is generally called "Schengen China".

There are several ways to apply for a Schengen visa (1). If you just travel to a certain member country for a holiday, you need to apply for a visa in that country, which is actually "applying for a visa in China". "Chinese visa processing" can only be reasonable in the country applying for a visa and overseas, and it is not allowed to enter the country applying for a visa from other Schengen countries. Otherwise, you should apply for "Schengen visa processing", and the number of days of visa processing within the validity period of the visa is unreasonable;

(2) If a member country or several member countries enter another member country, they should apply for a visa from another member country (country of entry);

(3) To travel to several member countries for vacation, you must apply for a visa for the member country that mainly visits or stays for the longest time. If you can't define the most important visit to China, you should apply for a visa to visit the country for the first time.

(4) People who travel to overseas territories or trust places of France, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, as well as the Faroe Islands and Greenland in Denmark, should still apply for visas from that country; If you want to visit Faroe and Greenland, you need to apply for a Schengen visa in Denmark. When Denmark applies for a visa in China, you will apply for approval, and there is a note on the visa application.

(5) After visiting or visiting several Schengen countries, you need to fill in the itinerary, that is, the specific situation of the countries and routes visited and the detention schedule, and provide an invitation letter to visit the host country; If you apply for a visa from any country, you will use the visa form of that country. If necessary, the trial country may request additional materials. China in Schengen sometimes checks and signs visas by himself, only going to the host country and not to other Schengen countries; During the validity period of the visa, the number of days of detention in visa processing is unreasonable.

If you need to stay for a long time, you should apply to a member country for a host country visa that is not used in the host country. A one-time entry visa allows the holder to enter the Schengen area at one time, and the stay time cannot exceed the valid time indicated in the visa processing. Stop for more than 90 days at most (for example, July 1 to September 28th). Multiple-entry visa: The holder is allowed to enter the Schengen countries at will for multiple times within 180 days, and stay in China for no more than 90 days. During the validity period of the visa, you can stay in the Schengen area continuously, and you can also enter and exit the visa multiple times.

(2) Transit visa: refers to the visa application for countries other than the agreed countries before entry. There are generally two kinds: once or twice. In some cases, more visas can be issued. Each entry stay is generally 3 days, and the longest is 5 days. According to the Schengen Agreement, transit visas allow China citizens from non-Schengen countries to travel to another non-Schengen country. Transit visas can be one-time, two-time or two-time entry, and the stay time cannot exceed 5 days.
