There are different types of visas for Schengen nations, and the purpose of your visit determines the kind of visa you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Schengen visa requirements vary according to the categories like tourism, work, study, conference, family visit, etc.It also depends on the duration of your trip, and the frequency of your visits. Now, for short trips lasting up to three months, you require a short-stay visa. However, for work and education, you have different long-term visas.
