THREE RULES
TO START WITH.
- 01
A short stay is generally limited to 90 days in any 180-day period.
- 02
The application normally belongs with the country that is the main destination, not automatically the first point of entry.
- 03
The responsible mission and application provider depend on destination and place of residence.
