What are Schengen countries?
There are 26 so-called Schengen countries in Europe. The Netherlands is also part of this. It concerns 22 countries of the European Union and four non-member states. These countries have agreed in an agreement that they will abolish checks on persons at their common borders. Also known as free movement of people and goods. We call the countries that have signed this treaty the Schengen countries.
Which nationalities must apply for a Schengen visa?
Those who want to travel to other countries may have to deal with a visa. A visa is an official permission to enter and stay in a country. A visa is issued by the country where the traveler is going. In this way, that country can control who enters the country.
