SCHENGEN VISA TYPES
When applying for a Schengen visa, choosing the correct visa type is one of the most important steps. Each visa type is designed for a specific purpose—such as tourism, visiting family, business, or studying—and choosing the wrong one can lead to delays or even rejection of your application.
🧳 What is a Tourist Visa?
A Schengen Tourist Visa allows you to travel to one or more countries in the Schengen Area for leisure, sightseeing, or vacation purposes. This visa is strictly for tourism and not for visiting family, studying, or business.
🎓 What is a Study Visa?
A Schengen Study Visa is for students attending short courses, seminars, language training, or workshops in the Schengen Area for less than 90 days. If your study is longer than 90 days, you need a national student visa.
🏡 What is a Visit Visa?
A Schengen Visit Visa is for people visiting family, relatives, or friends who legally reside in a Schengen country. This is not for tourism or business, although short tourism may be allowed during the stay.
💼 What is a Business Visa?
A Schengen Business Visa is for travelers attending official meetings, business events, conferences, or trade fairs within the Schengen Area.
