What is the SCHENGEN ZONE & How I Choose Where to Travel (long term) // 049
The first time you google visas for travel in Europe, and see The Schengen Zone or Schengen Area, you begin asking a thousand questions. What is it? Where is it? What does it mean? What does it have to do with me?
The Schengen Zone is an area in Europe, consisting of 26 countries, referred to as the Schengen Countries. Travelers from any country can move between the countries within the Schengen Zone without border checks.
People from certain countries (click here to see which: can travel to the Schengen Zone without needing to obtain a visa. Nationals from these countries (U.S. included) can travel within the Schengen Zone for 90 days.
However, once 90 days have passed, travelers must leave the Schengen Zone. If you're trying to spent more time in Europe than 90 days, you then need to hop out of the Schengen Zone. Once you're out of the Schengen Zone for 90 days, you can get back in and restart your 90-day count.
SCHENGEN ZONE COUNTRIES:
Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland
There are also many European countries which are NOT located within the Schengen Zone. These are important to note because if you plan to spend more than 90 days in Europe, you'll have to hop out of the Schengen Zone.
