The Schengen Visa is a travel document that allows you to stay within the Schengen Area, which includes a total of 29 European countries. This visa facilitates travel by eliminating the need for passport checks or other border controls at their shared borders, making it easier for international travelers to visit. The term "Schengen" comes from the Schengen Agreement established in 1995. While the Schengen Area is largely free of internal borders, external border controls remain stringent for non-Schengen country.
The Schengen Area promotes the free movement of information, services, financial transactions, and other facilities for all travelers. For expert assistance in navigating the application process and meeting the requirements, consider reaching out to Arise Immigration Consultant.
