Details that can change your plans
Already hold a Schengen visa or residence permit?
An unexpired short-stay Schengen visa generally covers visits across the area within its stated territorial validity, entry count, dates and authorised stay. A valid residence permit or long-stay visa issued by one Schengen country also allows short visits to other Schengen countries for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Qualifying family members of EU citizens exercising free-movement rights may get facilitated visa procedures; conditions apply. You must still meet border-entry conditions; check your document's limits and conditions.
