Traveling to Europe with the Schengen Visa

Many travelers may ask “If I can travel through the Schengen Zone with just one visa, for which country should I apply?”. You must apply to the country ofyour entry point in the Schengen Zone; this will be the first country to analyze your data and grant visa authorization. So if you will visit Italy, then spend a weekend in Greece and finish the vacation in Paris, you should apply for any of the Schengen Visas we offer like the Italy Schengen Visa.

The visa is standard for all countries, but the visa application can vary a bit for each one. You will have all the support you need when applying using the iVisa Concierge Service. The Concierge Service for the Italy Schengen Visa is now currently available on the iVisa platform. At the end of February, you will also be able to apply for the Spain Schengen Visa and the Greece Schengen Visa with our experts' guidance, and at the beginning of March for the Czech Republic Schengen Visa and France Schengen Visa.
