Frequently asked questions
Which Schengen country should residents of Saudi Arabia apply to?
You apply to the embassy of the country where you will spend the most nights. If the nights are equal across countries, you apply to the country you enter first. Applying to the wrong embassy is a common reason Schengen applications are refused, so Travelzeego checks your itinerary against these rules before you submit.
Does one Schengen visa cover all 26 countries?
Yes. A Schengen visa issued by any member state allows travel across all 26 Schengen countries for the period granted, typically up to 90 days within any 180-day window. You still lodge the application with a single embassy.
