Top EU Visa types

Single-entry visa
A single-entry visa permits its holder to join the Schengen Area only one time, for the given time, as specified in the visa sticker attached to their passport. Once the visa holder exits the Schengen area, the immigrant can no longer go back, even if they have not spent there the number of days as allowed by the embassy that assigned them the visa.

Some people confuse the single-entry visa, considering that it is regarding the number of countries the visa holder is permitted to visit and that it allows them to enter one particular country. The area you are allowed to visit is given close to the “Valid for” tag in your visa sticker, whereas the time you are allowed to stay is given near to the “Number of entries” tag.

Double-entry visa
A double-entry visa involves the same way as the single-entry visa described earlier. The main difference between a single-entry and a double-entry visa is that the second allows going once more back to the Schengen area once you have left it.

You should be very careful not to pass the number of days you are allowed to stay in the Schengen area, as well as the time within which you can spend those days in the EU. Do not mix the “double-entry” tag with the number of countries you are allowed to access and settle within the given time.

When you leave the Schengen Area for the second time, you no longer have the freedom to go back, even if you did not use all of the days you were allowed to live there. If you have got a double-entry visa more than one time, and you are a regular traveller to the Schengen area, you are more likely to be given with a multiple-entry visa, as described later.

Multiple-entry visa
A multiple-entry visa enables its owner to go in and out of the Schengen zone as many times as holder wants, as soon as they do not break the 90/180 rule.

Based on how regularly you travel to the Schengen area, you can apply and obtain one of the following multiple-entry visa varieties:
  • 1-year multiple-entry visa
  • 3-year multiple-entry visa
  • 5-year multiple-entry visa
  • 1-year multiple-entry Schengen visa
