Consistency principle

1. Schengen countries should adopt unified policies and regulations on the movement of people, especially visas.

2. Schengen countries decided to issue a unified visa that is generally valid in the Schengen area.

3. Short-term travel visas that allow one or two entry stipulate that the total stay days should not exceed three months within six months after the first entry.

Before using Schengen visa, the national visa of each country should be recognized.

According to the Schengen Agreement, travelers with valid residence permits of any Schengen Agreement member country can travel freely in Schengen area without a visa within three months.

6. The unified Schengen visa shall be issued by the diplomatic and consular departments of the agreement countries.

7. In principle, the country issuing the Schengen visa should be the main destination country of the visa holder. If there are two destination countries with similar stay time (accurate to the hour), the Schengen visa can be issued by the country that entered the country for the first time.

8. The validity of travel documents must be longer than the validity of visas, and travel documents must ensure that foreigners outside Schengen countries can smoothly return to their own countries or enter countries outside Schengen area.
