SHORT-TERM VISA, QUOTA VISA AND EXTRA-QUOTA VISA

Short-term visa

The Schengen visa or Uniform Schengen Visa (VSU) is regulated uniformly throughout the Schengen area. It is valid for the territory of the Schengen Area and issued for short stays, (type C). The maximum duration is 90 days per semester, calculated from the date of first entry. Inputs can be one, two, or more inputs. If the conditions are met, Uniform Schengen Visas valid for one year (C1), two years (C2), three years (C3) or five years (C5) can be issued. As a rule, this type of visa does not allow the issuance of a residence permit. Need a Schengen visa:

✓ those who do not have a valid residence permit issued by the Schengen States;

✓ those who are not citizens of those countries that have signed specific international conventions that allow their fellow citizens to stay, for tourism or work reasons, for a maximum of 90 days every 180 days in the Schengen territory.

The application must be submitted to the consulate of the main country of destination in your country of residence.
