Schengen Visa as a Boon to Travelers Visiting Schengen Zone

Before the introduction of Schengen visa, the travelers from any country of the world who wished to visit more than one country in Europe on a single trip were required to get separate visa for all of the countries. However, that difficult time for the travelers has now gone and because of Schengen visa, the travel to 26 Schengen countries of Europe has become a lot more easy and hassle-free. That is for the reason that now people can visit any one and even all the Schengen States of Europe on a single trip with a single visa. The need for the travelers to spend extra expenses on getting visas for each of the country they wanted to travel has been eliminated and they can now travel without any hassles at a much less expenditure.

The purpose behind the travel must be business, leisure or tourism if you want to travel on Schengen visa. A Schengen tourist visa secured by Schengen visa insurance gives the allowance to the visa holders to travel freely across all the Schengen member countries for a maximum period of stay of 90 days in a six-monthly period.

The Schengen Convention has specified same rules of entry in all the Schengen nations. For entering the Schengen region, the EEA nationals need to submit a valid or expired travel document that is less than five years old or a valid identity card.  The non-EEA nationals must present certain necessary documents as said the Schengen Convention that include valid passport, passport size photographs, Schengen travel insurance, proof of adequate funds for keep during the whole trip, evidence of confirmed tickets and accommodation and other documents as required.
