Schengen Visa Types
Tourist Schengen visa
Tourist Schengen visa is a permission to visit any country within the Schengen Area for pleasure or to visit friends or family who have residence in any of the Schengen countries. The holder of the Tourist Schengen visa can stay in the Schengen Area for the number of days indicated on the visa, which cannot exceed 90 days in the period of 6 months. During the stay with the granted visa, the holder may not engage in any gainful activity, unless the issued visa states otherwise.
Business Schengen visa
The holder of this type of visa is allowed to do business in the country of destination. Any restrictions to his/her business activities will be stated on the visa.
Student Schengen visa
The holder of this type of visa is allowed to stay and study in the country which granted the permission for enrolment, issued by the school. The holder of this visa is not permitted a permanent residence and involves certain restrictions.
Working Schengen visa
The holder of this visa is allowed to stay and work in the selected country within the Schengen Area. EU citizens and the citizens of the USA, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland may apply for a residence/ working visa upon their entry in the Schengen Area. The citizens of the aforementioned countries do not require a visa to enter the Schengen Area.
Transit Schengen visa
This type of visa is issued as either
A-type Transit Visa
for the airport transit in the Schengen Area. The holder
of the visa is not allowed to leave the so-called
transit area at the airport, or
B-type Transit Visa
Valid for 5 days, which allows the holder to travel through the Schengen Area on his/her way to the final destination outside the Schengen Area.
Schengen Visitor Visa Validity
A Schengen Visitor Visa is valid for up to 90 days within a period of six months, within the entire territory of Schengen. However, it is all up to the Schengen embassy, which processes your application, how long they decide to permit you to stay in Schengen.
Usually, you will get a visa that permits you to remain in Schengen for as long as you require in your application. Still, take the time to read carefully your Schengen visa sticker in order to find out more in this regard.
