A Uniform Schengen Visa is designed for short visits to the Schengen area for purposes such as tourism, family visits and other eligible short stays.
The Schengen area includes 29 European countries. A valid Schengen visa can allow travel within the area subject to the visa's validity, permitted stay and number of entries.
The responsible Schengen country depends on your actual travel plan. If one country is your sole destination, that country normally handles the application. For multi-country trips, the main destination is determined from the purpose and circumstances of the journey.
Send Garnet Tourism your complete itinerary before preparing your application. We can review the trip and guide you on the appropriate Schengen destination for the visa process.
