What is the longest time for a tourist visa in Europe?

1, Schengen visa

Schengen visa refers to the visa issued according to the Schengen agreement. The agreement was named after it was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg, and stipulated the single visa policy for member countries. 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".
