This is a short-stay visa allowing a stay of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. It’s ideal for tourists, business travelers, conference attendees, or those visiting family and friends.

• Uniform Schengen Visa: Valid throughout the entire Schengen area, which includes most European Union countries and several associated nations. It grants the right to travel and stay freely within the territory of all these states. The duration of stay or total stays cannot exceed 90 days within any 180-day period.

• Limited Territorial Validity (LTV) Schengen Visa: This visa is valid only in the territory of one or more, but not all, Schengen states explicitly indicated on it. It grants the right to stay within their territory for a period not exceeding 90 days within any 180-day period. It is issued in specific, justified cases.
