What is a Schengen Visa or Residence Permit? 

A Schengen visa is a travel authorization that allows the holder to travel to Schengen Area countries for a short stay. A Schengen residence permit allows a foreign national to legally reside in the Schengen country that issued it.

Where Can You Get a Schengen Visa or Residence Permit?

If a traveller requires a Schengen visa, the application must be submitted through the embassy, consulate, or authorised visa application centre of the relevant Schengen country. A residence permit is generally obtained from the relevant immigration or residence authority of the Schengen country where the applicant intends to reside.

To obtain a Schengen visa or residence permit, applicants must meet the requirements set by the issuing country. The required documents and conditions depend on the purpose and duration of the stay.
