Visa Application Procedure
At which Embassy or Consulate?
As a general rule, Schengen visas are issued which are valid for the territory of the 15 countries currently applying the Schengen Agreement. Once such a visa has been obtained, the holder thus has the right to enter and stay for a short period (maximum of 90 days in one half-year period) in the territory of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden.

A visa application may also be made to an Embassy or a Consulate in a third country in which the applicant is only passing through, although in such cases, the application will need to be submitted for a prior decision by the Federal Public Service of the Interior.
