A Schengen Visa (Type C) is a short-stay visa that allows travelers to visit countries in the Schengen Area for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is commonly used for tourism, family visits, or short business trips. With this visa, you can travel freely between Schengen member countries without internal border checks. However, it does not allow long-term stay or employment. The visa may be issued as a single-entry, double-entry, or multiple-entry visa depending on your travel plans.
