Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Schengen visas

Which embassy should I apply to?

Apply to the embassy of your main destination (longest stay) or the first country you'll enter if staying equal time in multiple countries.

How long can I stay with a Schengen visa?

You can stay up to 90 days within any 180-day period. This means you can visit multiple times as long as you don't exceed 90 days in total within 180 days.

Do I need separate visas for each country?

No, one Schengen visa allows you to visit all 26 Schengen countries. You don't need separate visas for each destination.

What if my visa application is rejected?

While our success rate is 97%, if your application is rejected, we'll help you understand the reasons and guide you through a reapplication process at no additional cost.

Can I extend my Schengen visa?

Extensions are rarely granted and only in exceptional circumstances. It's better to apply for the correct duration initially.
