How a Schengen visa application works

  1. A Schengen visa allows up to 90 days in any 180-day period and is valid in all 29 Schengen countries.
  2. Apply at the consulate of the country that is the main purpose of the trip. If the purposes are equal, apply to the country where you will stay longest.
  3. Applications are accepted from 6 months until 15 days before the trip. A decision usually takes 15 calendar days and can take up to 45.
  4. Fingerprints are taken at the first application and can be reused for 59 months.
