The European Union has a list of over 100 countries whose citizens should have a visa to visit states in the bloc. It also has a list of states whose citizens are exempted from such a requirement.

Citizens of certain countries must hold a short-stay visa. A Schengen visa is a permit that allows citizens to visit and travel within the Schengen Area, which comprises 27 European countries. The purpose of the visit can be tourism or business.

It includes short-stay visas for travel or transit through a Schengen state and airport transit visas.

But applicants would have to apply for a national visa specific to that country, not Schengen, if they want to stay longer than 90 days for purposes like studying, working, or living in the country.
