Schengen VIsa Validity Period

Visas are normally issued for the duration you specify, with a maximum of 90 days per 180 days. The visa sticker shows how long you may remain in the Schengen Area, the date on which your visa becomes valid and the date on which your visa expires. After that date, the visa will no longer be valid. Take account of possible delays during your journey, and do not travel on the very last day that the visa is valid. Leave yourself some extra time.

Decisions on visa applications

Most diplomatic missions of the Schengen countries may take independent decisions on visa applications. But since Schengen visas are valid for 26 countries, some countries require that they be notified of or consulted about visa applications from citizens of certain countries. The consultation process may take up to seven days, so you should take this into account when applying for a visa.

Countries to which the notification requirement applies are:
Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Congo (Democratic Republic), Côte D’ivoire, Cuba, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Korea (North), Kuwait, Lebanon, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Moldova, Morocco, Myanmar, Nepal, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Philippines, Qatar, Russia, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tajikistan, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
