- Conditions
- A Schengen visa for tourism covers individual or organised tourism. Applications are generally filed in person at a consulate or visa centre, and can be submitted 6 months at the earliest and 15 days at the latest before the trip. An application is only admissible with a valid passport, a signed form, a recent photograph, the fee paid, and fingerprints collected. Children aged 12 to 15 must attend with a parent or legal guardian. Visa holders must tell the consulate about changes to their travel arrangements, and a visa does not automatically grant entry: border officers may ask for proof of accommodation, finances, and a return ticket.
