Which European Countries issue Schengen Visas?

The Schengen visa is issued by the member countries of the Schengen zone, which consists of 27 nations that have ratified the Schengen agreement. This agreement enables citizens of these member countries to travel within the Schengen zone without undergoing passport and border checks. Thus, Schengen visas are available from each participating member country within this zone.

The following list comprises the 27 countries that are part of the Schengen Zone:

Belgium

Czech Republic

Croatia

Denmark

Estonia

Finland

France

Germany

Greece

Hungary

Iceland

Italy

Latvia

Lithuania

Luxembourg

Malta

Netherlands

Norway

Poland

Portugal

Slovakia

Slovenia

Spain

Sweden

Switzerland

Liechtenstein

These countries are bound by the Schengen Agreement, which allows for passport-free travel within the zone for their citizens and visitors.

Eighteen other countries, despite not being Schengen Zone members themselves, permit foreign nationals from non-Schengen countries to enter and temporarily stay within their borders if they possess a valid multiple-entry Schengen Visa. In such cases, there is no requirement for an additional national visa issued by these countries for entry, transit, or temporary residence.

UK’s Global Talent Visa Saw Only 3 Applicants in 2 Years

 In 2021, former Home Secretary Priti Patel highlighted that recipients of prestigious awards had achieved the highest point in their careers and had much to offer to the United Kingdom. She emphasized that these significant changes would also grant them the freedom to work in the UK's leading fields such as arts, music, sciences, and film industries as part of the nation's post-pandemic recovery.  At that time, Patel stated that this aligned with the new point-based immigration system's goal of attracting the most talented individuals based on their skills and expertise, rather than their country of origin.  According to a previous report from Research Professional News, the visa scheme had received only three applications over two years, with two approvals in 2022 and just one this year. A spokesperson from the Home Office explained that due to the exclusivity of the prizes that qualify under the "prestigious prize" pathway of the Global Talent route, they did n...

Saudi Arabia Increases Umrah Visa Duration for Pakistani Pilgrims to 90 Days

During their visit, citizens of Pakistan will have the opportunity to explore approximately 100 historical and religious sites in the cities of Makkah and Madinah, renowned for their significance in religious tourism. The Saudi Minister also emphasized his government's commitment to reducing the costs associated with Hajj for pilgrims, given the strong diplomatic ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.  The Minister further disclosed that civil aviation authorities from both countries have inked agreements to increase the number of flights between these two predominantly Muslim nations.  Additionally, individuals over the age of 65 from Pakistan who intend to undertake Hajj and Umrah will be exempt from the biometric requirement, a request made by the Pakistani representative.
