A few common questions
Questions About Schengen Visas & European Pathways?
Requirements depend on the country, route and your circumstances. Check current guidance from the relevant country’s official authority before applying.
What is the difference between a Schengen visa and a national long-stay visa?
A Schengen short-stay visa generally covers visits of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period across the Schengen area. Stays beyond that limit are handled under the destination country’s national visa rules and may involve a national long-stay visa or residence permit. The Schengen area and the European Union are not the same, and national requirements vary. Check the relevant country’s official immigration authority.
Can my Thai spouse or partner join me in Europe?
Possibly, but the applicable route depends on the destination country, your status there and your family circumstances. Family reunification requirements and evidence vary between countries; a short-stay Schengen visa is not itself a residence route. Check the relevant country’s official authority for current requirements.
Which Schengen country should I apply through?
Apply through the country that is your main destination. If you will spend equal time in more than one Schengen country, apply through the country you will enter first. Check the official guidance for the country responsible for your application and the consular arrangements where you live.
Can I work or study in Europe on a Schengen visitor visa?
A short-stay Schengen visa is for permitted short visits and does not give unrestricted permission to work, study or reside. Work and study routes are generally governed by the destination country’s national rules, and requirements differ. Confirm what is permitted with the relevant country’s official authority before making plans.
What should I do if my Schengen visa application is refused?
Read the refusal notice carefully, including its stated reasons and any instructions or deadlines. Available next steps depend on the decision and the country that handled the application. Check that country’s official guidance and consider advice from an appropriately authorised professional where required.
Can you guarantee that my Schengen visa will be approved?
No. The relevant national authorities decide visa applications. TSL & Associates is an independent private service provider and cannot guarantee an outcome.
