How do I apply for the visa for Europe?

Question

I'm planning to have a holiday in Europe with my american husband and american son. I'm from asia and I have not been to US and haven't applied for US visa yet. What are the steps to apply for visas, UK, France, Sweden, Italy and so on? Do I need to apply for visas for every country? Please help me out. It's gonna be in december but I think I should prepare for it in advance.

Answer 1

You will not need a visa for travelling within the EU if you are a citizen of an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland. There are many other countries whose nationals do not need a visa if visiting the EU for three months or less. These include the candidate countries Bulgaria and Romania (but not Turkey), Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand and the United States. If in doubt, check with the nearest consulate of any EU country.

If you get a visa for any EU country (except Ireland and the United Kingdom) or for Iceland or Norway, also known as the 'Schengen countries' (please read Schengen countries, it will automatically allow you to travel freely throughout the Schengen area. The Schengen rules are the part of EU law that aim to remove all internal border controls, but put in place effective controls at the external borders and introduce a common visa policy. Ireland and the United Kingdom do not participate in the aspects that relate to frontiers. You will need a national visa to visit the UK, Ireland and the new member states. Some new member states, however, may accept Schengen visas or residence permits of Schengen countries, so check with their consulates. To get a Schengen Visa and if you intend to visit only one Schengen country, you must apply at the Embassy or Consulate of that particular country. For a list of Embassies and consulates click here

If you intend to visit several Schengen countries, you must apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country which is your main destination.

If you intend to visit several Schengen countries but do not have a main destination, you should apply for a visa at the Embassy or Consulate of the country which is your first point of entry.

Answer 2

The 15 Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members. When you mention Europe you have to apply for each one for a visa. The European Union is made of Member states of the EU
