This long-term visa offers travelers the freedom to enter any of the 29 Schengen countries multiple times over five years: provided no stay exceeds 90 days within any 180-day window.
Designed primarily for frequent travelers, business professionals, and individuals with consistent international travel records, the visa eliminates the hassle of reapplying for short-term permits.
It reduces visa processing time, lowers application costs, and simplifies the documentation and interview requirements.
Approval for the five-year visa is still subject to the discretion of the issuing embassy or consulate.
