Overview

Within the Schengen visa framework, a family member of an EU citizen is a family member of a citizen of any of the EU country or Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway and Switzerland, who is a spouse or a direct descendant less than 21 years old or dependent on the EU citizen. In certain cases also other relatives can be regarded as “family members“ (for verification kindly contact the Embassy).

The Schengen visa may be issued for a single entry (as a rule for the 1st time visitors of the Schengen area), for two entries, or as a multiple entry visa in case the applicant proves the need or justifies the intention to travel frequently as well as proves his/her integrity and reliability, in particular the lawful use of previous Schengen visas, etc. (as per Schengen Visa Code, Article 24). A non-EU citizen traveller, regardless of the fact whether he/she is subject to visa obligation, may stay in the Schengen area for a maximum of 90 days within any 180-day period.

It is advisable to plan your travel well in advance to avoid any inconvenience.
