VISAS

A Schengen visa enables a foreigner to travel to all countries of the Schengen area, except if the area of validity is limited in the visa sticker itself. With a Schengen visa you can travel freely between these countries as long as the Schengen visa is valid.

The following countries together form the Schengen area: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.

You have to apply for your Schengen visa at the Embassy of your main destination. If the main destination cannot be determined, responsibility for issuance of the visa lies with the Schengen state of first entry.
