Schengen Tourist Visa permits third-country nationals to enter into the Schengen Area for a maximum of 90 days within a 6-month period, under the purpose of traveling or visiting Europe for pleasure. Non-European citizens willing to travel to Europe for tourism purpose might be required to apply for a short-term Schengen visa under “tourist” specification. A visitor visa is an official document issued by a Schengen States visa office that is placed in your passport to show that you have met the requirements for admission to Schengen States as a temporary resident.
