Are you planning to travel to a European country? Schengen Visas.

Are you planning to travel to a European country? If you are, please make sure you plan your travel as soon as possible - 4 weeks before you travel is recommended for visa applications to be submitted.

Please note that you need to make an application to the county where you will be spending the most time during your visit. Once the visa is issued, this then gives you entry to all the countries in the Schengen agreement. Please email Bob when you need further help.

Please see below for the links for all the Schengen Countries.
