About Schengen Visa applications from the Philippines
A Schengen short-stay (type C) visa allows travel within the Schengen Area for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. You apply to the embassy, or its appointed visa application centre, of the country that is your main destination — or your first point of entry if you will spend equal time in several countries. Biometrics are generally collected in person.
Each Schengen country publishes its own checklist and appointment process, so we help you identify the correct country to apply to, prepare a consistent itinerary and confirm the current requirements before you book your appointment.
