The border area may include any administrative district within 30 kilometres from the external border (and, if any district extends beyond that limit, the whole district up to 50 kilometres from the border). The applicant for the permit has to show legitimate reasons to frequently cross an external land border under the local border traffic regime. The validity of the permit can be up to five years. Holders of local border traffic permits are able to spend up to 3 months *every time* they enter the border area of the Schengen country which has issued the permit (this time limit is far more generous than the '90 days in a 180-day period' normally granted to third-country nationals visiting the Schengen Area).[\\[64\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-73)A local border traffic permit scheme has been implemented in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia for Ukrainian nationals, is being implemented or negotiated in Poland and Lithuania regarding Belarus and Russia (Kaliningrad area), and has also been implemented in a 30 km border zone between Norway and Russia in 2012.

These visas are reserved for individuals who can prove that they were unable to apply for a visa in advance due to time constraints arising out of 'unforeseeable' and 'imperative' reasons as long as they fulfil the regular criteria for the issuing of a Schengen visa.[\\[178\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-187) However, if the individual requesting a Schengen visa at the border falls within a category of people for which it is necessary to consult one or more of the central authorities of other Schengen states, they may only be issued a visa at the border in exceptional cases on humanitarian grounds, on grounds of national interest or on account of international obligations (such as the death or sudden serious illness of a close relative or of another close person).[\\[179\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-188) People trying this way to travel to the Schengen Area can be denied boarding by the airline because of the [carrier's responsibility](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Schengen_Area#Carrier's_responsibility \"Schengen Area\"), which penalises airlines if they carry passengers who do not have the correct documentation.\n\n### Visas with limited territorial validity\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=17 \"Edit section: Visas with limited territorial validity\")\\]\n\nIn exceptional cases, Schengen states may issue visas with limited territorial validity (LTV), either specifically naming the state(s) for which it is valid or, inversely, the state(s) for which it is not valid. According to the Schengen Visa Code, member states may issue LTV visas when a consulate deems it justifiable to overcome the three-month limitation in six months, when a member state considers it necessary due to pressing circumstances to derogate from entry conditions as set by Schengen Borders Code, to overcome objections of other member states, or in cases of urgency.[\\[180\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-189)\n\n### Unrecognised travel

Holders of local border traffic permits are able to spend up to 3 months every time they enter the border area of the Schengen country which has issued the permit (this time limit is far more generous than the '90 days in a 180-day period' normally granted to third-country nationals visiting the Schengen Area).[\[64\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-73)A local border traffic permit scheme has been implemented in Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia for Ukrainian nationals, is being implemented or negotiated in Poland and Lithuania regarding Belarus and Russia (Kaliningrad area), and has also been implemented in a 30 km border zone between Norway and Russia in 2012. See [Schengen Area\#Local border traffic at external borders](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Local_border_traffic_at_external_borders "Schengen Area").There is also a tendency to allow more and more one-year multiple-entry visas to Russians – especially by Finland. There are plans in the EU to allow up to 5 years validity on multiple-entry visas for Russians, partly to relieve the work load at embassies.\[[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed "Wikipedia:Citation needed")\] \| ### Holders of non-ordinary passports \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Holders of non-ordinary passports")\] There are no common visa lists for holders of [diplomatic and official passports](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport#Diplomatic_and_official_passports "Passport").

Travellers must apply to the embassy or consulate of the country which they intend to visit. In cases of travellers visiting multiple countries in the Schengen Area, travellers must apply to their main destination's embassy or consulate.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-Convention_12-2-90) If the main destination cannot be determined, the traveller should apply for the visa at the embassy of the Schengen member state of first entry.[\[81\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-Convention_12-2-90) Often, external service providers are contracted by certain diplomatic missions to process, collect and return visa applications. Schengen visa applications may not be submitted more than six months prior to the proposed date of entry into the Schengen Area.[\[82\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-91) All countries' embassies may require applicants to provide biometric identifiers (ten [fingerprints](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fingerprint "Fingerprint") and a digital photograph) as part of the visa application process to be stored on the [Visa Information System](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_Information_System "Visa Information System") (VIS). Biometric identifiers are not collected from children under the age of 12.[\[83\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-92) Travellers applying for a Schengen visa for the first time must apply in person and are subject to an interview by the consular officers. If biometric identifiers have been provided within the past 59 months, the applicant may not be required to provide biometric identifiers again. Providing that the visa application is admissible and there are no issues with the application, a decision must be given within 15 calendar days of the date on which the application was lodged.[\[84\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-93) The standard application fee for a Schengen visa is [EUR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro "Euro") 90. There is a reduced fee of EUR 45 for children aged 6 to 12, and no fee for children under age 6, for applicants intending to undertake study, educational training or scientific research, and for applicants under age 25 representing non-profit organisations. In some cases the visa fee may be waived for children under age 18, for holders of diplomatic and service passports, and for applicants under age 25 participating in events by non-profit organisations, and may be waived or reduced in order to 'promote cultural or sporting interests, interests in the field of foreign policy, development policy and other areas of vital public interest, or for humanitarian reasons or because of international obligations'. If the applicant's country of nationality is considered not to be cooperating on the readmission of irregular migrants, the visa fee may be increased up to EUR 180, except for children under age 12. If a visa application is submitted to an external service provider, an additional service fee up to EUR 120 may be required.[\[85\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-94)[\[86\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-95) Schengen visas are valid for any country in the [Schengen Area](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area "Schengen Area") unless marked otherwise.[\[49\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-faq-58) Cyprus also accepts double and multiple-entry Schengen visas, for stays of up to 90 days in a 180-day period, except for nationals of Turkey and Azerbaijan.[\[13\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-cyprus-13) However, visas issued by Cyprus are not valid for travel to the Schengen Area.[\[52\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-handbook-61) The Schengen Convention and Schengen Borders Code permit member states to require third-country nationals to report their presence to a police station within 3 working days of crossing an internal border.[\[87\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-96) This requirement varies by country and can usually be performed by hotels instead. Since the global loosening of [COVID-19 lockdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdown "COVID-19 lockdown") rules and the rebound in travel demand, Schengen nation embassies have come under immense criticism for long visa processing times and unavailability of visa appointments.[\[88\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-97)[\[89\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-98) The general lack of competition for visa outsourcing contracts, which are dominated by companies such as [VFS Global](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VFS_Global "VFS Global"), BLS International and TLScontact, has also been blamed for the poor service.[\[90\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-99) This has partly spurred the EU to further digitalise the process.[\[91\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-100) It is planning to introduce a unified online visa application platform named EU VAP (EU VAP: European Union Visa Application Platform)[\[92\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-101) at the EU and Schengen level, replacing the separated national platforms. The platform will be built by [eu-LISA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eu-LISA "Eu-LISA") and is scheduled to be introduced in 2026. A transition period for all member states to migrate to the single platform is scheduled to last until 2031.[\[93\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-digitalisation-102) The European Parliament voted on 18 October 2023 to introduce the digital application system and for cryptographically signed visas. In almost all cases, applications for Schengen visas will be made through a single website.[\[94\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-103) ### Number of entries and validity period \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=13 "Edit section: Number of entries and validity period")\] Schengen visas may be issued for one, two or multiple entries, with a validity period up to five years. Under the standard rules, new applicants are granted visas valid only for their intended trips, then after using three visas in the previous two years they qualify for a multiple-entry visa valid for one year, then for two years, then for five years. However, applicants who justify their need for frequent travel may be granted a multiple-entry visa with a longer validity without satisfying the previous requirements.[\[95\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-104) The EU Commission may set different rules about multiple-entry visas for specific countries. For example:[\[96\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-105) - The maximum validity of multiple-entry visas is two years if issued in [Algeria](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algeria "Algeria") and [Iran](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran "Iran"), and three years if issued in [Ghana](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghana "Ghana"). - Nationals of [Bahrain](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain "Bahrain"), [Belize](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belize "Belize"), [Kuwait](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuwait "Kuwait"), [Oman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman "Oman"), [Qatar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar "Qatar") and [Saudi Arabia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudi_Arabia "Saudi Arabia") are granted multiple-entry visas valid for five years even if applying for the first time. - Nationals of [India](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India "India") who used two visas in the previous three years qualify for a multiple-entry visa valid for two years, then for five years. - Nationals of [Indonesia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesia "Indonesia") who used a visa in the previous three years qualify for a multiple-entry visa valid for five years. - Nationals of [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia "Russia") who do not justify their need for frequent travel are granted multiple-entry visas only if they are spouses, children or parents of EU citizens or residents, valid for one year, or if they are transportation workers, valid for nine months. - Nationals of [Turkey](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkey "Turkey") who used a visa in the previous year qualify for a multiple-entry visa valid for six months, then for one year, then for three years, then for five years. - [Permanent residents of the United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_card "Green card") who used a visa in the previous three years qualify for a multiple-entry visa valid for one year, then for two years, then for five years. ### Visa facilitation agreements \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=14 "Edit section: Visa facilitation agreements")\] The EU has concluded visa facilitation agreements with several countries, which allow facilitated procedures for issuing visas for both EU citizens and nationals of partner countries. The facilitated procedures include faster visa processing times, reduced or no fees, and reduced list of supporting documents.[\[97\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-commission-106) These agreements are also linked to readmission agreements that allow the return of people irregularly residing in the EU.[\[98\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-107) \| Visa facilitation agreements \| \| \| \|---\|---\|---\| \| Country \| Entry into force \| Notes \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Flag_of_Armenia.svg/40px-Flag_of_Armenia.svg.png) [Armenia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia "Armenia") \| 1 January 2014 \| \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dd/Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg/40px-Flag_of_Azerbaijan.svg.png) [Azerbaijan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azerbaijan "Azerbaijan") \| 1 September 2014 \| \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/85/Flag_of_Belarus.svg/40px-Flag_of_Belarus.svg.png) [Belarus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belarus "Belarus") \| 1 July 2020 \| Suspended for Belarusian government officials from 12 November 2021 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/38/Flag_of_Cape_Verde.svg/40px-Flag_of_Cape_Verde.svg.png) [Cape Verde](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Verde "Cape Verde") \| 1 December 2014 \| Amended from 7 October 2021 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/36/Flag_of_Albania.svg/40px-Flag_of_Albania.svg.png) [Albania](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albania "Albania") \| 1 January 2008 \| Visa waiver from 15 December 2010 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Flag_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.svg/40px-Flag_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina.svg.png) [Bosnia and Herzegovina](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bosnia_and_Herzegovina "Bosnia and Herzegovina") \| 1 January 2008 \| Visa waiver from 15 December 2010 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/Flag_of_Georgia.svg/40px-Flag_of_Georgia.svg.png) [Georgia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_$country$ "Georgia (country)") \| 1 March 2011 \| Visa waiver from 28 March 2017 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/27/Flag_of_Moldova.svg/40px-Flag_of_Moldova.svg.png) [Moldova](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moldova "Moldova") \| 1 January 2008 \| Amended from 1 July 2013, visa waiver from 28 April 2014 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/Flag_of_Montenegro.svg/40px-Flag_of_Montenegro.svg.png) [Montenegro](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montenegro "Montenegro") \| 1 January 2008 \| Visa waiver from 19 December 2009 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Flag_of_North_Macedonia.svg/40px-Flag_of_North_Macedonia.svg.png) [North Macedonia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Macedonia "North Macedonia") \| 1 January 2008 \| Visa waiver from 19 December 2009 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f3/Flag_of_Russia.svg/40px-Flag_of_Russia.svg.png) [Russia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russia "Russia") \| 1 June 2007 \| Fully suspended from 9 September 2022 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/ff/Flag_of_Serbia.svg/40px-Flag_of_Serbia.svg.png) [Serbia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serbia "Serbia") \| 1 January 2008 \| Visa waiver from 19 December 2009 \| \| ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/49/Flag_of_Ukraine.svg/40px-Flag_of_Ukraine.svg.png) [Ukraine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine "Ukraine") \| 1 July 2013 \| Visa waiver from 11 June 2017 \| ### Working holiday visas \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=15 "Edit section: Working holiday visas")\] Many Schengen countries have signed bilateral agreements for [working holiday visas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_holiday_visa "Working holiday visa") with other countries, which allow their nationals to travel and work in each other's country for up to one year.

These visas are reserved for individuals who can prove that they were unable to apply for a visa in advance due to time constraints arising out of 'unforeseeable' and 'imperative' reasons as long as they fulfil the regular criteria for the issuing of a Schengen visa.[\[178\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-187) However, if the individual requesting a Schengen visa at the border falls within a category of people for which it is necessary to consult one or more of the central authorities of other Schengen states, they may only be issued a visa at the border in exceptional cases on humanitarian grounds, on grounds of national interest or on account of international obligations (such as the death or sudden serious illness of a close relative or of another close person).[\[179\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-188) People trying this way to travel to the Schengen Area can be denied boarding by the airline because of the [carrier's responsibility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Area#Carrier's_responsibility "Schengen Area"), which penalises airlines if they carry passengers who do not have the correct documentation. ### Visas with limited territorial validity \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=17 "Edit section: Visas with limited territorial validity")\] In exceptional cases, Schengen states may issue visas with limited territorial validity (LTV), either specifically naming the state(s) for which it is valid or, inversely, the state(s) for which it is not valid. According to the Schengen Visa Code, member states may issue LTV visas when a consulate deems it justifiable to overcome the three-month limitation in six months, when a member state considers it necessary due to pressing circumstances to derogate from entry conditions as set by Schengen Borders Code, to overcome objections of other member states, or in cases of urgency.[\[180\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-189) ### Unrecognised travel documents \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=18 "Edit section: Unrecognised travel documents")\] Schengen visas are only issued on travel

Although long-stay visas issued by these countries have a uniform design, the procedures and conditions for issuing them are usually determined by each individual country. For example, some Schengen countries require applications for long-stay visas to be made in the applicant's home country, while other Schengen countries permit them after arrival. Some procedures may vary depending on the applicant's country as well.[\[226\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-235)[\[227\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-236)[\[228\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-237)[\[229\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-238) In some situations, such as for study, the procedures and conditions for long-stay visas have been harmonised among all issuing states.[\[230\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-239)[\[231\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-240) Each country is also free to establish its own conditions for residence permits. Third-country nationals who are [long-term residents](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_resident_$European_Union$ "Long-term resident (European Union)") of an EU or Schengen state (except Ireland and Denmark) may also acquire the right to move to and settle in another of these states without losing their legal status and social benefits.[\[232\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-241) The [Van Der Elst visa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Der_Elst_visa "Van Der Elst visa") rule allows third-country nationals employed in the EU single market to work temporarily in another EU single market country for the same employer under certain conditions. ### Bilateral visa waivers \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area&action=edit&section=28 "Edit section: Bilateral visa waivers")\] Some third-country nationals are permitted to stay in the Schengen Area for more than 90 days without the need to apply for a long-stay visa. For example, France does not require nationals of the [European microstates](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_microstates "European microstates") to apply for a long-stay visa.[\[233\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-242) Nationals of some 'Annex II' countries (such as [Australia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia "Australia"), [Canada](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada "Canada"), [Malaysia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia "Malaysia"), [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand"), [Singapore](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore "Singapore") and the [United States](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States "United States")) that had entered into visa waiver agreements with individual Schengen states before they implemented the [Schengen agreement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_agreement "Schengen agreement") are permitted to stay for an additional period of time, above and beyond the typical maximum stay limit of 90 days within 180 days imposed on visa-free 'Annex II' nationals. In such instances, the period of additional stay depends on the specific visa waiver agreement, and only applies if the 'Annex II' national has used up their maximum stay limit as provided for under the Schengen Area.[\[234\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visa_policy_of_the_Schengen_Area#cite_note-Czechia_Beyond-243) \| Legacy visa waiver agreements for Annex II nationals \| \|---\| \| [Australian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australia "Australia") and [New Zealand](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand "New Zealand") citizens enjoy a more liberal visa policy, with both governments having signed bilateral visa agreements with individual Schengen countries.
