ℹ️ Important Note

The Schengen Area consists of 27 European countries with no internal border checks. A Schengen visa (Type-C) allows 90 days within any 180-day period across all member states. For long-term stays or employment, you need a National (Type-D) visa from the specific country — each country has its own immigration rules. The EU Blue Card is a pan-EU work permit for highly qualified non-EU nationals.
