Before applying for a Schengen Visa, should check if your home country can have visa-free travel through Europe. Generally, EU or EEA nationals do not need a European Visa. Nationals from the following countries are also exempt from Schengen Visa requirements:
- Austria
- Belgium
- Czech Republic
- Denmark
- Estonia
- Finland
- France
- Germany
- Greece
- Hungary
- Iceland
- Italy
- Latvia
- Liechtenstein
- Lithuania
- Luxembourg
- Malta
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Poland
- Portugal
- Slovakia
- Slovenia
- Spain
- Sweden
- Switzerland
Your visa-free status may sometimes be transmitted to your dependants and spouse too.
Along with the application form, you need several documents for a Schengen Visa:
- Your passport. Must be not older than ten years and remain valid for a minimum of three months beyond the date you depart Europe.
- Your travel itinerary, including dates, flight, and hotel reservations;
- Travel insurance, with a minimum of €30,000 coverage;
- Evidence of the financial means to support yourself throughout your stay in Europe;
Before you can get a Schengen Visa, you have to be eligible. This means meeting the requirements and submitting all the Schengen Visa supporting documents.
