Getting Schengen visa is not simple specially for the people those are from third world countries. After great struggle people from third world countries end up getting visa. And that visa won’t only allow you to travel EU countries but apart of those 27 countries a visa hold can travel in other 54 countries easily.
Schengen is group of 26 countries those have a unified agreement to be on same page to abolish passports and internal border controls. This means that all the Schengen countries act as if they are only ‘one country’ — so every citizen of each member state is free to go anywhere they want. Meanwhile, outsiders who want to enter the Schengen Area would experience border control once at the first country that they enter; but after that, entering other member countries would no longer require further immigration control.
The Schengen visa serves as the basic visa that you will need to be able to stay in all of the 26 countries.
Now, depending on the non-Schengen country stated in this list, you can use ANY of the following Schengen visa types in order to gain visa-free entry:
- Type A: for airport transits
- Type C: short-term or short-stay visas (valid for 3 months, usually for tourism or business)
- Single Entry (1): you can only enter the Schengen area once
- Double Entry (2): you can only enter the Schengen area twice during the visa’s validity
- Multiple Entry: you can enter the Schengen area as many times as you want as long as you stay for only 90 days in ANY 180-day period
- Type D: long-term or long-stay visas (valid for more than 3 months, usually for study or work)
- Residence permit: from any Schengen country
