Applying for a Schengen multivisa

Once to issue and submit documents, and then for five years to freely travel around Europe is real. more and more often issued to our compatriots who actively visit European countries. But the more opportunities, the more temptations. Getting greater freedom of movement, it is necessary to more carefully monitor compliance with visa rules so as not to violate the requirements of the law and not be blacklisted by the Schengen.

Map of the countries of the Schengen area

Tourists, especially beginners, are very scared. An unfamiliar procedure, many nuances, the severity of the consular staff. But at the same time, the Schengen multivisa is the most cherished, but also the most unattainable dream of everyone who is in love with Europe and travel.

The process is complicated by the fact that you can get it in almost any consular department of each of the 26 countries participating in the agreement. It is the huge choice that becomes the stumbling block. Many questions arise: which state should be chosen for paperwork, how to use a visa correctly, what restrictions exist. The situation is aggravated by constant changes in the visa legislation. The year 2019 will not be an exception for Russians.

Multivisa - multiopportunities

The Schengen multivisa differs from any other visa in that it is possible to enter and exit the country (s) that are parties to the Schengen agreement an unlimited number of times. At least every weekend to fly from Russia and back, while as a tourist destination, you can choose any state that accepts such conditions. To date, there are 26 of them.

While a single-entry visa will allow you to enter Europe only once, ride in neighboring countries for the amount of time indicated in the visa, and return home. It will no longer be possible to re-enter the Schengen territory using this document. Even the fact that out of the 30 days that the visa is valid, you spent only a few days abroad will not be an argument. That's why it's a one-time thing.

Another type is a double-entry visa. The name speaks for itself. According to such a document, you can enter and exit twice without having problems with the law.

Validity of the Schengen multivisa

To date, there are several urgent multivisas:

  • for 6 months;
  • for 1 year;
  • for 2 years;
  • for 3 years;
  • for 5 years.

However, this does not mean that the Schengen holder will be able to enter the zone once and stay there continuously all this time. Each issued visa, except for the period for which it is issued, has a certain number of days that the holder can spend abroad every six months. Usually 45 and 90 days are indicated for every 180.

It is guaranteed that you can quickly get a multivisa through a proven company that has been operating on the market for 7 years.

Designations on the Schengen visa

The rules for counting days spent on the territory of the participating countries have changed, and in 2019 they will operate according to the following scheme.


The more experience and impeccable visa history, the more chances. Those who are going abroad for the first time and immediately plan to apply for a multi-visa to Europe should get ready for, since the chances, objectively, are minimal.

The easiest way will be for tourists who have not just been abroad, but also visited Europe or other Schengen countries. And the more such visits there were, the higher the probability of obtaining a multivisa. In this case, it is not the duration of the trips that matters, but the number of trips.

It is also easier to get a Schengen multivisa for those who traveled on single-entry tourist visas to any member countries of the agreement.

Having a history of obtaining simple visas, you can already try to apply for a "cartoon". And it should be done in stages. First for a short period, after its expiration - for a longer one.

Without a visa history or a history of travel specifically in Europe, you can try to get a Schengen multivisa. Only the documents will have to be submitted not to a representative office of the country convenient for you, but to a certain one. Among tourists with experience, there is a rating of countries that are more willing than others to issue such documents.

These include:

Some are interested in developing business relations with Russia, others are interested in the tourist flow from our country, and still others simply earn money by issuing visas to almost everyone. Therefore, the likelihood that a beginner in the field of travel will be able to obtain a multivisa is higher.

The cost of obtaining a multivisa is slightly higher than a single permit. But the opportunities that open up before the tourist are completely different.

Documents for obtaining Schengen

Each country that issues a multivisa asks for its own package of documents. Despite some differences, additions and nuances, in general, these lists are similar. Here is an approximate list that will allow you to form a general idea of ​​what papers will have to be issued:

It is the last point that should be given special attention, since the success of the entire operation depends on the correct filling of some fields. To be sure what information and how to write in these boxes, it is better to contact the Visa Application Center for clarification.

The main requirement is that all information must be reliable.

When contacting travel agencies or companies specializing in the preparation of documents for obtaining a visa, the cost of their services can amount to thousands of euros. It depends on the country issuing the document and its validity period. At the same time, the size of the consular fee will be ten times less, within the range of 100-200 euros.

Terms and conditions of use

There are 26 Schengen member countries, and the coveted visa can only be obtained at one representative office. This raises a number of questions, including how to choose the right state to apply for documents, in what order to visit the selected countries, how long to stay in each of them.

These are quite reasonable clarifications, since even a single violation of the visa regime in the future may threaten a ten-year quarantine. In order not to fall into the trap, or rather, not to adjust it with your own hands, you need to have complete information.

In which country should a Schengen multivisa be obtained?

If we discard the principle “where it is easier”, then the rules say that you need to apply for a document in the “main country of the Schengen zone”. This refers to the state where you plan to spend the most days during the validity of the multivisa. Also, instead of days, you can count the number of entries.
In this case, it will absolutely not matter which countries, other than the main one, you have visited and how many times, if the above parameters regarding the main state that issued you a visa are met.

Often, when closing a visa, border guards can actually count the number of days and the number of entries, and in case of non-compliance with the requirements, ask you a few questions, cancel your visa and blacklist you, which will no longer allow you to become a Schengen holder.

First entry rule

It is valid only if you apply for a visa to the state through which you plan to enter, and then spend the same number of days in all the countries you will visit. Otherwise, this rule does not apply.

For example, when obtaining a Schengen multi-visa to Spain, it is not necessary to start your trip with it.

It is enough just to spend a couple of days more on its territory during your vacation than in other countries of your route. Since the rule is valid only if the terms of stay in the countries are equal. In simple terms, it does not matter which country you entered through, it is important where you spent the most time.

One of the most convenient and loyal countries for Russian tourists. Getting a Schengen "cartoon", you can spend 80 days traveling around Europe, and twice, each time for five days, go to Finland. Even in this scenario, visa requirements will be met. At the same time, it is not necessary to visit Finland first.

But when traveling around Europe by car and with stops of the same duration in each country, it is better to use a visa with the right of first entry and draw up a document at the representative office of the country where you first cross the border.

Fulfillment of visa obligations

In visa matters, honesty is one of the principles to be followed. Or lie, but very skillfully, with the provision of all kinds of supporting documents.

Such cheap tricks as booking hotel rooms, and after receiving a visa, canceling them will not work, since the information will certainly get to the representative office of the country where you received the Schengen, and, of course, the next time you apply, you are unlikely to get a positive solution.

But there are still some tricks, tricks and little tricks. Developed over the years and the practice of hundreds of tourists, they help increase the chances of obtaining a Schengen multivisa.


Changes in visa legislation for 2019

In 2019, the practice of issuing long-term multiple visas will continue. We are talking about documents that are valid for 3-5 years. Such intentions, at least, were announced by Greece and Italy. Other countries that are considered more loyal in solving visa issues will not be an exception.

Another important change in the visa rules will be the introduction of a mandatory fingerprinting procedure for all tourists. This is done in order to create a single database of all tourists who wish to obtain a Schengen and enter a special zone.

According to the initiators of the innovations, in the future this will simplify the process of obtaining a visa, since all the necessary data will already be stored in a common database, and in order to re-obtain a visa, you will need to provide a minimum of data. And, therefore, Europe will become even more accessible.

    Good afternoon.
    Help clarify the situation.
    That I, that my mother, we already traveled like that and there were no problems until yesterday. The situation is this, my mother has an annual visa for 90 days of stay. She, a week before the end of the visa, entered the Schengen region in order to open a visa. In two weeks, i.e. As I understand it, it was just the entrance corridor that was closed. But the right of departure is free, since the days are not used up. She essentially stayed in the country for 14 days. In general, she was detained at the border and a protocol was drawn up. Now I have received a fine of 350 francs. Stunned.-) I apologize for the emotions. Tell me who is right?

  • I have a multi-visa from the Finnish Embassy. I have already been to Finland.
    Can I travel to another Schengen country during the validity period of my visa without visiting Finland?

  • In May 2019 I plan to visit the Czech Republic. Before that, there was a visa in 2015 from Germany for only 4 days and in 2016-2017 - an annual visa from France.

    The trip to Spain raises questions. Judging by this article, I should spend the most days in Finland. However, the trip to Spain is longer. Will this be a violation, or is this the first trip on a multivisa if it runs through several countries?
    Thank you!

Is it possible to get a multivisa for six months or a year (to travel everywhere)? And which country is better to do in the end? Where are the chances that they will give?

  • Good afternoon Last year we went on a bus tour of Europe, the visa was a single entry Polish. The year before last there was also a bus tour with a group on a German visa. BUT! Last year, during a tour of Europe, a bag with documents was stolen, that is, the old passport with visas was lost. Now we are preparing to receive a new foreign visa, and so we want to get a multivisa! The question is whether it is possible to somehow restore information about past visas, just what they were, so that there is a chance for a multivisa.

  • Good day! We are going as a family (me, husband, child (2 years)) for the New Year holidays in Germany. Until that time, Schengen was not opened, we want a multivisa, because We are also planning to visit the Netherlands and Belgium.

  • Just a couple of days ago I returned with my brother from the Czech Republic, they gave me a single entry visa for the duration of the trip (from July 20 to July 24). It was our first Schengen visa. Now we want to fly to Spain: can we apply for a multivisa, say, for a year?

  • I already have a multi-visa to Spain for a year, ending in May next. When I received this visa in May, I had already made a trip to Spain, but the visa remained, and I would like to use it. Is it clearly stated in the legislation of the rules of the Schengen zone that I can now travel to any Schengen countries without being in Spain at all. Or with every now trip to another country, you need to follow the rule of the first entry or spending a lot of time in Spain. It’s absurd… There were problems on the border with Germany, they didn’t want to let me in, now I’m going there again and I’m thinking how to defend my rights. Help!

  • Previously, there was not a single Schengen visa. I live in St. Petersburg. I received a Multivisa for a tourist trip to Greece for 3 years and 90 days of stay. The first trip for 2 weeks will be to Greece. Next, I want to definitely go to Finland several times and I will probably not go to Greece. Will it be a violation if I go to Greece once for the first time when opening a visa and several times to Finland? Will I have problems later on getting the Schengen?

  • My daughter works and lives (married) in Sweden. Three times with his wife went to her on short-term visas (no more than one month). We want to issue a long-term Schengen for 3 years. Tell me, please, how can this be done, and what are our chances?

  • We are planning a trip to Aruba in December. In 2014 I had a visa to Greece, in 2013 to the Czech Republic. What is the best visa to get? The Czech Republic or Hungary are also in the plans in January. Will I have to get 2 visas, or is there an option to learn one for Aruba, and then to the Czech Republic or Hungary?

  • My husband and I are going to competitions in Poland (for 6 days), and after that we would like to visit several nearby countries. If you get a visa to Poland, and stay in other countries for less than 6 days in each (but more than 6 in total), will there be no violation? Do you need to travel home from Poland or does it matter?

  • I'm flying abroad for the first time at Christmas. Planned a budget option for train / plane tickets. The first stay was at the Vilnius railway station, then immediately the plane to Copenhagen (5 nights), and then 4 nights in Oslo. What kind of first visa to make: for six months or a year (I would not like a one-time one for a month)? And the most important question, to which Consulate should I apply? To Lithuanian, as the first country of entry, or to Danish, where I will spend more than a day?

  • My husband and I are going to spend the New Year holidays in Hungary. There are tickets and hotel reservations. The Schengen multi-visa was issued by the French visa center, but we have not been to France yet (the visa is not open). Will we have problems at the border with entering Hungary?

  • I had 2 Bulgarian visas for 30 and 45 days, then a Hungarian one-time visa, now I urgently need a one-year visa to Spain (Canary Islands), because. I work as a flight attendant. The employer does not give us visas, he says, whoever wants to be in the forefront, he himself will make annual ones for business trips. Wouldn't it be impudent to immediately request an annual visa, paying for accommodation and tickets for a period of a month? Or is there a chance that they will give you a single entry again? I regret that I contacted the Bulgarian visa. Bulgaria is not part of the Schengen Agreement.

  • I want to go to Romania and Hungary from the territory of Western Ukraine. From Russia, the ticket will be to Ostrog. On the hands will be an invitation from Ostrog. Will it be enough to book a hotel from Romania, and in which country to apply for a multivisa?

  • In May-June we are planning a road trip around Europe, the main time of stay is Italy or Spain. Tell me, how is it easier to open a visa for this trip or buy a package tour a little earlier and hope for a multivisa?

  • There are four of us (my wife and I and our two children). The children have passports. In 2016-2017 (December-January) there was a single-entry German Schengen visa at the invitation of relatives. Issued in the visa center of St. Petersburg. Now we are planning a trip in the summer again at the invitation of relatives to Germany. I don’t understand, technically how to request a multi-visa for several years so that you don’t fly to St. Petersburg every time? Write a separate application to the questionnaire, or is there a separate item in the questionnaire where to indicate this? Or in the invitation to relatives to indicate that after the specified dates, they are still ready to invite us (for them, after all, an invitation is also a paid procedure)?

    Was 2 times in Denmark at the invitation of a friend. The first time was given a short-stay visa. On the second - they asked for multi. Again they gave for the duration of the trip - 1 month. For the first time, specific dates of entry and exit were indicated in the invitation. In the second case, just for a month. What do you need to write to get a multi?

    The Finns gave me a single entry visa despite a multi request. They motivated their choice by the fact that I do not work. I have funds for traveling, but no additional documents were required from me (at least a bank account). Before that, I had a multivisa for Italy. Question: what is the chance of my getting a multivisa in general? Is the lack of formal employment a serious problem? Maybe not to tempt fate and turn to the Italians again?

    There were Schengen visas in 1313 - Latvia, in 1616 - the Czech Republic. Now I'm going to Austria. What are the chances of getting a multiple entry visa? And will the invitation of relatives from Germany for another period of the trip play a role?

    We are planning a trip to Italy with friends in June (with a flight from Poland, since it is many times cheaper than from Kaliningrad). Before that, I had 7 short-term visas from Poland, Latvia and Germany and 2 multi (for 2 years Greek and 1 year Polish, ended in July 2017). There are connections at the consulate and a friend from there recommends applying for a French visa for 5 years. Will there be any questions for me if I make the first entry through it to Poland (for a flight to Italy) and return to the Russian Federation also through the Polish airport?

    I plan to fly to Munich on October 6 by plane, then fly from Munich to Vienna on October 8, also by plane, and on October 10 go to Prague by train. Prague October 10-14.

    How monitored is the cancellation of a hotel reservation after entering France on a multivisa issued by France? Plans have changed, we will fly to Paris, but we will not stop anywhere in France, we will immediately leave for the Czech Republic, from there to Spain, from where we will return home. Is there a risk that having entered the country on a multi-visa for the first time and canceling the hotel, the consulate will find out about this and cancel the multi-visa?

This year, I flew 3 more times on this visa: to Spain in April, to Montenegro in June (with a visit to Croatia - the Schengen zone) and in August a tour with arrival and departure through Estonia. If necessary, I can provide documents for the ownership of real estate, statements on deposits, on a trip to Spain, copies of air tickets and boarding passes, receipts for purchases. I plan to visit Spain every year in different directions once a year.

  • My family of 4 was given a single-entry Schengen visa for a month at the German Embassy at the invitation of friends from Germany.
    Prior to this, there was never a Schengen.
    Is it obligatory to fly to Germany for the first time, or can it be painless to arrive in the EU through the Baltic states, in particular, fly to Germany from Vilnius to reduce the cost of travel?
    And the second question, no less important: is it also necessary to fly from Germany, just because it issued a visa, or can you fly home from any Schengen country?

There are two Schengens in the passport: Germany and Austria for the duration of the trips. In the old one, there were two more Schengen (short-term).

Thank you in advance!

  • Good afternoon Tell me, please: France has given a multivisa for six months. A trip to France is planned for February. Can I open a visa in Poland for the first time before this trip, just by going there for the weekend?

    Hello, can you help me figure it out?
    In 2017, they received a single entry visa to Germany by invitation. In the invitation (for 5 years) there are two people, me and my daughter. Will they accept the invitation again if only my daughter is going this time? Is there a chance to get a multivisa for a year?

    Hello. Please tell me. My minor daughter went to Estonia as part of the ensemble. She was issued a multivisa for six months (the leadership of the ensemble was engaged in this). Never been abroad before. Does she still need to visit Estonia in order to get a new visa without any problems in the future? Or can you travel to other countries? Is it better for me and my second daughter to try to open a Schengen in Estonia? We also did not leave earlier, is there any chance to get it?

    Hello. I have several questions. Please tell me. 1. Do I understand correctly that if I have a Spanish multivisa for 1 year with a stamp of 90 days, then I have the right to stay no more than 90 days in half a year? That is, if, for example, I entered Spain from the first day of the validity of the visa and was continuously 90 days, then went back to Russia, do I have to wait 3 months (+/-) to use the remaining 90 days of the next half year? 2. If the answer is “yes, I have to wait”, then is there a chance to get a new visa (for example, by invitation) and go to Spain again so as not to wait until 3 months of stay in Russia end? In general, my questions are how to stay in Spain as much as possible and with the least interruptions. Thank you in advance for your response

  • Hello!
    Please explain the situation:
    There is an annual multi-visa Schengen visa to Spain until September 2019.
    I got married in February 2019, and my husband and I are going on a trip in May this year.
    what should I do?
    Do I need to apply for a new visa, change my passport?
    The term of the multivisa will not be over.
    Can I travel with my old passport?

  • Good afternoon Tell me how to be. I want to make an Italian visa for a year. Before that, in 2018, there was the Maltese. But first I want to go to Poland for the period from May 2 to May 31, and only then a month later to Italy. Will they give me a visa in this case and will there be any problems at the Polish border?

  • Hello! Help with advice: my sister has a husband, her husband has a sister, etc. in general, there is an apartment in Brussels, where my daughter was invited to live, she is 16 years old, she had visas to France and Austria (school exchanges). We were not given a visa to Belgium - we cannot confirm family ties. Now the plan is this: to get a visa to France, and the relatives of my relatives will pick it up in Paris and take it to their place in Brussels, i.e. the second rule you described that taking a visa from the state where it will stay the most will not work. Should we do this, how justified is our risk? What does this threaten us with? Or not to risk? and my daughter also dreams of getting to Luxembourg, where it’s very close. Is it worth it to do this with a French visa, otherwise it turns out that in France she will exactly spend the least time of the whole trip ... Thank you in advance!

  • Good afternoon I plan to go to Spain in May, but I don’t have time to get a Spanish visa. Before that, there was no Schengen. Can I, with a visa to France (it can be done faster), go to Spain, and later a few months later go to France (for the sake of an entry stamp)? Should the stay in France be longer than the stay in Spain? And can I, for example, travel to the Czech Republic before entering France?
