EU tourist visa? - Hardy - 07-21-2008
Hello everyone!
How does one usually get an EU tourist visa?
How much does it cost? How quickly can one get it?
Thank you

Hi Hardy, you probably need a Schengen visa. If you have it you can easily travel among its 20 European member states: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden

A US or Canadian citizen doesn't need a visa for entering Europe. The custom officer will simply put a stamp into the passport and that's all.

Hardy your question is too abstract - you should mention here where you are from. It's a very significant factor, since embassies may not open toursit visas at all in your country.

this is the official site of Schengen visa services. Hope it will help you Hardy

In fact you can save the time and receive the visa only of those countries which you visit. It usually happens in airports after your arrival.

It usually happens in airports after your arrival.but remember, this doesn't involve ground transitions, but only air transition. If you travel by bus, you will need to have a transition visa for every country you cross.

All EU countries are full Schengen members except for Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland, Romania and the United Kingdom. You will therefore need to present a valid passport or ID card to travel to those five countries. Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are also Schengen members but are not in the EU.If your visa is from a country fully applying the Schengen rules, it automatically allows you to travel to the other Schengen countries as well. Moreover, if you have a valid residence permit from one of those Schengen countries, it is equivalent to a visa. You may need a national visa to visit non-Schengen countries.
