Schengen Multiple visa travel free countries
I have 6 month validity Schengen visa. I want to in how many countries I can travel?
Best Answer
Look carefully at what is written in the "VALID FOR" area in your visa. This is the top line on your Schengen visa. It can say one of the following:
"SCHENGEN STATES" or "SCHENGEN STATEN" or "SCHENGENER STAATEN" (thanks @burhan-khalid and @phoog) - this means you can visit all 26 Schengen countries. Note that you still cannot spend more time in any other country than in the country which issued you a visa for (you'd need to apply for visa for the country you primarily visit).
a specific country/countries name. In this case you legally can only visit the country/countries listed. While there are no border/passport checks between Schengen countries and you might be able to sneak in, this is not recommended. If there is any trouble or random police checks, and you're caught up and have your papers checked, you might be banned from future visits into the whole Schengen area. This would be a quite rare case, but I've seen a visa like that, so it certainly possible.

Can I travel to other Schengen countries with multiple entry visa?
Schengen visas allow to make one-entry, two-entries or multi-entries. With one-entry visa you can travel the Schengen area only once. It is indicated in your visa as \u201c01\u201d. With two-entries or multi-entries you can respectively travel to the Schengen area twice or several times during the visa validity period.How many countries can I visit with Schengen visa?

With the 5-Year MEV, you only need to complete your Schengen Visa application once. After it's been approved, your visa will be valid for 5 years, so you don't need to apply for another Schengen Visa within 5 years. In short, more time traveling, less time applying for visas.Can I have 2 Schengen visas at the same time?
In theory, it is not possible for a person to hold two valid short stay visas covering the same period. I have a valid Schengen visa but it does not cover my next intended stay, what can I do?
