Extended information:

After holding a Schengen country visa, you should first choose that country to enter. Do not simply think that a Schengen visa from one country can enter other Schengen countries at will. If you need to transfer in France without leaving the airport, you should purchase a ticket in advance.

In addition to the Schengen visa, you should bring round-trip air tickets, hotel orders, travel insurance and other relevant materials when entering the country. Those holding study, visit, business and other types of visas should also provide corresponding supporting materials, such as invitation letters, certificates from the host unit, etc.
