outside our country of origin.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know what those who want to visit Europe, whether for tourism, studies, temporary work or family, go through without the right guide.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That's why we want to share our knowledge to help you understand what is the <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong>who needs it and how to apply for it in a clear and practical way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Schengen visa?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong> is an official permit issued by any of the countries that make up the European Union.<strong>l Schengen Area<\/strong>The EU is a territory where internal border controls have been abolished, allowing the free movement of persons between its member states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We, since we have been living outside of our beloved <strong>Venezuela<\/strong>We realised that this is not a <strong>national visa<\/strong>but of a <strong>regional paper<\/strong> that allows us to transit through various <strong>nations<\/strong> without the need for multiple applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Schengen area<\/strong> includes countries such as <strong>France<\/strong>, <strong>Germany<\/strong>, <strong>Italy<\/strong>, <strong>Spain<\/strong>where we currently reside, among many others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you get the <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong>You can travel between these countries without border controls, which is a huge advantage for those of us who live abroad and want to get to know the country.

<strong>Venezuelans<\/strong> who live outside the <strong>Venezuela<\/strong>we recognise ourselves as <strong>national<\/strong> of a country whose citizenship <strong>is not exempt<\/strong> to apply for the <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong> if our stay is <strong>of short duration<\/strong> (maximum up to 90 days within a period of 180 days) either by <strong>tourism, family visit, business or transit.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, there are specific circumstances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If we already have a <strong>legal residence<\/strong> in a country in the <strong>Schengen Area<\/strong>Often we do not require a <strong>additional Schengen visa.<\/strong> We ourselves, before we obtained our residency, did need it.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also exempt are holders of certain documents, such as EU resident cards or long-stay visas, issued by <strong>Schengen countries<\/strong> or associated, but these cases are different and less common for the majority of the <strong>Venezuelans<\/strong> <strong>without residence.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, in general, anyone who is not a citizen of the<strong> EU <\/strong>or of the<strong> Schengen Area <\/strong>and plans to travel to <strong>90 days<\/strong>including in transit, <strong>you must apply for a Schengen visa<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of Schengen visas and which one is best suited to your situation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several types of <strong>Schengen visa<\/strong>The most frequent are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Short-stay Schengen visa (type C)<\/strong>for tourism, business, visits to relatives or transit.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>National \/ Long-stay visa (type D)<\/strong>: awarded by a <strong>Member State<\/strong>allows stays of up to <strong>longer than 90 days<\/strong>. If we apply for studies, work or family reunification, we turn to this type.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our recommendation is that, for holidays or short breaks, you should opt for the <strong>type C. <\/strong>However, if we are going to reside longer for work or academic reasons, the <strong>type D<\/strong> is the right one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Documents required to apply for a Schengen visa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"http:\/\/curiara.com\/europa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/documentacion-necesaria-visado-shengen.jpg\" alt=\"documentation required for shengen visas\" class=\"wp-image-1922\" title=\"documentation required for shengen visas\" srcset=\"https:\/\/curiara.com\/europa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/documentacion-necesaria-visado-shengen.jpg 800w, https:\/\/curiara.com\/europa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/documentacion-necesaria-visado-shengen-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/curiara.com\/europa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/documentacion-necesaria-visado-shengen-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/curiara.com\/europa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/documentacion-necesaria-visado-shengen-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that one of the most common causes for refusal is the <strong>incomplete documentation<\/strong> o <strong>incorrect<\/strong>.
