The Schengen visa is an arrangement between 25 member countries (22 EU states and 3 non-EU members) to make traveling in Schengen territory much easier and less bureaucratic. It is an area without internal borders, an area within which many citizens, many non-EU nationals, business people, and tourists can freely circulate without being subjected to border checks.
Traveling on a Schengen visa means that the visa holder can travel to any (or all) Member States using one single visa, thus avoiding the hassle and expense of obtaining individual visas for each country. This is particularly beneficial for people who wish to visit several European countries on the same trip. The Schengen visa is a visitor’s visa, so the purpose of the visitor must be leisure, tourism, or business.

Types of Schengen Visa
A Schengen visa may be issued for a number of entries. This refers to the number of visits that may be carried out during the period of validity of the visa while respecting the length of the authorized stay.
As the name indicates, this type of visa allows for only one entry. During this period, the holder is allowed to travel once to the territory of the member states.
Once the holder leaves the territory of the Member States, they are not entitled to re-enter, even if the total number of authorized days of stay has not been used.
This visa allows for two entries. During this period, the holder may be authorized to stay for a total of 90 days, divided into two separate trips.
This visa allows for multiple entries. During this period, the holder is allowed to stay up to 90 days per 6-month period. The stay can be divided into as many separate trips as the visa holder wishes.
