As the UK is a member of the European Union all UK citizens with a full UK passport are free to travel anywhere in the EU without any kind of restrictions.

Non-EU nationals travelling to Europe will need to get the appropriate Schengen visa or a separate visa for the UK or Ireland as these countries did not sign up to the Schengen agreement.

Is schengen tourist visa valid for 2 days travel to Montenegro?

Montenegro is not a part of the Schengen Area, therefore a Schengen visa is not valid in Montenegro. Note Montenegro does not border on any Schengen countries, so unless you are flying there from a Schengen country, you may need a visa for whatever country you travel through.


Can you go abroad without a passport?

Are you nuts? Sure...go for it? Border Agents deal with drug mules, potential terrorists, criminals, and stupid people all day. You're sure to pique their interest as they slam you to the ground at gunpoint after you inform them of your lack of essential documentation. Oh and don't forget to wear clean underwear for that requisite body cavity search. Good luck with that.


Can you travel to Greece with a schengen visa?

Yes, Greece is a part of the Schengen Area but if you intend to travel through Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey or other Balkan countries (as opposed to a flight or ferry from Italy or other Schengen countries) then you may need a visa for those countries. A Schengen Visa is a visa which allows the holder to visit any country which is part of the Schengen Agreement. Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland are the present Schengen countries (as of May 2009). Liechtenstein is expected to fully sign-up later this year. Also there are no border controls between San Marino, Vatican City and Italy or between Monaco and France. Separate visas are still needed for visits to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus and other European countries. Schengen countries are those where border controls have been abolished so there are no longer any passport checks on borders and it's often difficult to know if you've actually crossed a border. Note that there are still customs checks between Schengen countries where one is an EU member (for example, Sweden) and the other is not part of the EU (for example, Norway). All Schengen countries require people to carry some form of ID with them (whether they are a visitor or a national or resident of that country). To apply for a Schengen visa you should apply to the embassy of the first country you intend to visit. If you plan to visit Italy, France and Spain (in that order) then you only need to apply to the Italian embassy and your visa is good for France and Spain too. European Union and EEA citizens don't need any visas to travel within the EU or Schengen countries. Croatians don't need any kind of visa for travel in Italy, Slovenia or Hungary but do need a visa if they intend to go elsewhere in the EU. Americans and Canadians may need a visa for some EU countries.


Living in UK American passport can i travel to Spain and back?

It depends on what kind of a visa you have when you're living there. Do you have Indefinite Leave to Remain? How long will you be in Spain? Spain is a Schengen member and the UK is not. So, if you're staying in the UK under the Visa Waiver Program (as a tourist for 6 months or less), you can go to Spain and stay for no more than 90 days. Schengen countries allow US citizens to visit the Schengen Zone through the VWP for up to 90 days out of every 180 (i.e. you can stay 3 months and have to leave 3 months before you can stay another 3).

Where to get schengen visa in Canada?

To obtain a Schengen visa in Canada, applicants can apply through the consulate or embassy of the Schengen country they plan to visit. It is crucial to determine the main destination and apply to the corresponding consulate. Typically, one applies at the consulate of the country where the longest duration of stay is planned. Ensure all required documents, such as a completed application form, passport, travel itinerary, and proof of financial means, are meticulously prepared. Seeking professional advice or checking with the specific Schengen consulate's official website can provide precise and updated information on the application process and requirements.


How does the Schengen agreement impact the UK?

what impact does the Schengen Agreement have on the UKAnswerThe biggest impact is that you need to go through passport control when travelling between the UK and the rest of the EU (exc. Ireland). (Although EU citizens can show ID cards instead of passports if their countries have them - Britain and Ireland don't). It also means that passport control is required at all Eurostar stations, and considerably complicates extending cross-channel train journeys past London St Pancras.For those not able to enter the UK without a visa (Russians, non-EU Eastern Europeans, most Africans, most Asians, Bolivians & Colombians), the biggest impact is requiring a UK visa to enter the UK, wheras a visa from one Schengen state covers the entire Schengen zone.Travel between Schengen countries does not have passport/ID checks, except in exceptional circumstances.If Britain joined the Schengen zone, it would mean no more long queues at airports for passport checks when returning from mainland Europe, and tourists with a Schengen visa could include the UK on their itinerary - and Ireland would no longer be prevented from joining (joining at present would require border controls to be instated on the mostly open border with Northern Ireland).However, it would also mean - in practice - that any illegal immigrants who have reached continental Europe (e.g. visa overstayers, or via the Mediterranean) despite the security at external Schengen borders would have unrestricted access to the UK (i.e. instead of stowing away on ferries, they could simply buy train, plane, ferry or coach tickets), where it is arguably easier to hide than on the Continent due to a lack of police checking ID and no mandatory registration of addresses.This is a major reason the UK is not in the Schengen zone, particular for anti-immigration tabloids.
