What is Schengen Visa?

If you’re planning a short trip to the European Union, then you can take advantage of this travel authorization. The Schengen Visa is an electronic document that allows citizens of Nepal to stay in the Schengen region for 90 days or less.

With this visa, you can freely move around the member states for business or tourism. You can also use it to take a short course in any of the member countries, as long as it is not longer than 90 days.

However, if you’re planning to apply for a job or work inside the Schengen area, you’ll need to apply for the proper paper visa instead. Reach out to the embassy or consulate of the country you’re planning to visit to get the correct visa for your trip.

All visitors, including minors, must carry their valid visas to enter the Schengen zone. It’s the responsibility of the parent or guardian to obtain this visa on their behalf. You can easily add a minor to your application when you apply with iVisa.

Based on their nationality and other criteria, some travelers can obtain an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System). This document is a visa waiver enforced to protect the Schengen area against potential terrorist attacks, illegal immigration, and drug and human trafficking.
