How to apply for Schengen visa in Europe

To apply for a European Schengen visa, you need to prepare personal work certificate, running permit, asset certificate, personal passport and personal photo, and then submit the application to the applicant country.

Schengen visa refers to the visa issued according to the Schengen agreement, named after it was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg, which stipulates the single visa policy of member States. According to this agreement, any visa issued by Schengen member countries is also considered valid in all other member countries, and no visa application is required. The country that implements this agreement is the so-called "Schengen country".

In a word, if a person wants to study abroad, he must hold a corresponding visa in addition to his passport, which is a stepping stone to other countries. Passport is the holder's nationality and identity certificate, and visa is the permission certificate of a sovereign country to allow foreign citizens or their own citizens to enter, exit or transit.
