What is the Schengen multivisa? How to get a multivisa in Schengen by yourself

Many Russian tourists prefer to spend their holidays in the countries of the Old World, since we really want to look at the quality of life of people living abroad. In addition, the abundance of cultural monuments is also a powerful incentive for travelers to go to Europe.

However, in order to visit it, you must obtain an entry permit issued by the consulate or visa center of the host country. Naturally, this procedure entails certain difficulties, since it is necessary to collect a huge number of documents, and a lot of time is spent on obtaining a visa. And if you add to this that for getting a one-time visa you need to pay every time, the prospect of traveling abroad becomes less attractive.

But this is not a reason not to travel to the EU countries!

A large number of European states have ratified the Schengen Agreement: Hungary, Austria, France, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Portugal, Switzerland and others.

If a person has repeatedly traveled to the same country of the Old World from the above, while he strictly observed all the requirements related to obtaining an entry permit, he has every reason to apply for a Schengen multivisa. What is this version of the entry permit?

Multivisa Schengen is a document that gives the right to travel to the EU countries that signed the above agreement, repeatedly for a certain period of time. In this case, it should be noted that the first stop should be done on the territory of the state in whose embassy you issued an entry permit. After that, you can go to any country participating in the Schengen agreement. Well, you need to remember that most of the time of your trip you must still spend in the country that issued you a visa.

Validity of the visa

This document has a different validity period - from ten days to five years. If we talk about tourist visas, they are usually issued for 3, 6 or 12 months.

If you are a business person who regularly visits an old woman in Europe, then you will need a Schengen multivisa for up to 1 year.

An entry permit valid for five years usually receives separate categories of citizens, for example those with relatives living in Europe, or diplomats.

Urgently need a visa - contact the professionals

Of course, many are interested in the question of how to get a multi-visa Schengen on their own, is it possible. Yes, there is such an opportunity. However, in this case, be prepared for paper red tape and, probably, nervous shocks. In case you do not have the slightest idea how to get a Schengen multivisa, it's better not to experiment, but to trust professionals who have sufficient experience in solving such problems. For a fee, they will do everything qualitatively and in the shortest possible time. If you are not in a hurry and want to save your own money, then dare to get permission to enter without help.

In this case, you can recommend the following: contact the embassy or visa center of the country that makes the most "soft" requirements for visa processing, even if it is not the purpose of your trip. In any case, through it you will visit the country that you need.

On a note

It is important to remember that, despite the commonality of the requirements for obtaining a Schengen visa in the member states of the above agreement, there are some differences. That is why you need to know in advance a specific list of documents that must be collected in order to obtain an entry permit. And if it suddenly turns out that you forgot to write one document, then you can not avoid a repeated procedure for submitting applications and information.

Nevertheless, we will list the basic documents, without which the Shenzhen multi-visa is not issued.
