Frequent travel makes you think about reducing the number of documents and visa processing times. After all, trips to Europe are not always planned in advance, the distance is small and someone has the opportunity or the need to fly / go there several times a month. In this case, you should think about a multiple-entry Schengen visa.
Instructions
Step 1
Multiple Schengen visa is a long-term permit to enter the countries that have signed the Schengen agreement. It is a multivisa issued for several months, six months, a year, three and even five. This is a convenient way to obtain permission to enter Europe without unnecessary paperwork and wasting time. But not everyone can get a multivisa.
Step 2
If you have the opportunity to receive a business or private invitation, then the multivisa is in your pocket. This is one of the prerequisites for obtaining a long-term entry permit. But even in this case, a multiple-entry visa is issued first for three months, then it can, after collecting the documents again, be extended to a six-month period, then to a one-year, three-year, etc.
Step 3
If there is no opportunity to receive an invitation, then good reasons are needed to obtain a multiple entry visa. For example, frequent travel to Europe over the past few years. You also need to prove your financial security.
Step 4
For Russia, it has recently been quite easy to get a multishengen via Spain. In order to increase the influx of tourists, this country, subject to the availability of all the necessary documents and certificates, opens mulshengen to almost all tourists applying for a visa. Almost anyone can get a six-month Schengen visa with the right to visit Schengen countries up to 90 days. Also, Greece from the second trip issues long-term visas to everyone.
Step 5
To apply for a multiple entry visa, you will need to collect the following documents:
- a foreign passport, valid for 3 months after the expiration of the visa;
- originals and copies of previous passports (if any);
- 2 photos 3, 5x4, 5 cm;
- certificate from the place of work indicating the position held;
- copies of all completed pages of the Russian passport.
In the absence of work, provide a certificate from the place of study and a sponsorship letter with the sponsor's consent to pay for your trip and a certificate from his place of work.
