Schengen Area, named after “the Schengen Agreement” signifies a zone where 26 different European nations, acknowledged the abolishment of their internal borders with other member nations and outside, for the free and unrestricted movement of people, goods, services, and capital, in harmony with common rules for controlling external borders and fighting criminality by strengthening common judicial system and police cooperation. This has made ease for passengers to travel to any one or several Schengen countries on a single visa issued by any one Schengen member country. Borders of these countries only exist on Map but in reality in terms of visas these are borderless countries, it is like moving within the same country.

A Schengen Visa (issued by a consulate or embassy of a Schengen State) is valid for all 26 States of the Schengen Area (including the European territory of Portugal), unless it is marked otherwise on the visa sticker. So you do not need another visa to enter or stay in the European territory of Portugal. However, you must be in possession of documentary evidence for the reasons of your stay and your means of support. Schengen Area comprises of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland

From 02nd November 2015, Schengen Countries have started Biometrics process for visa submission, so every applicant has to go personally to VFS (Visa Facilitation Center), a body appointed by Consulates OR in some countries directly he has to visit Consulate/Embassy for completing Biometrics procedure i.e. to capture Finger Printing, palm printing, Live photo.

As per the Standard Rule set by Schengen authorities, Biometrics is valid for 59 months & it is applicable for all Schengen countries & it can be easily identified from VIS remark on your visa issued after your First biometrics done, so if you have completed your Biometrics earlier for Schengen visa after 02nd November 2015 then you need not do it again for your subsequent Schengen visa application.But here again few countries will require applicant to come every time for Biometrics whenever they apply irrespective of criteria of 59 months OR few countries follow 59 months’ criteria but may call passenger for Biometrics again if there is some problem in Biometrics details captured in Visa Information System. So it is better that you check with our Visa2fly Visa Expert team before you apply for your visa.

Maximum 3 months before your travel date, Applicant can apply for Schengen visa, before that it will not be possible to apply for Visa.

In this case, you can very well travel on that visa even though it was issued before biometrics process started.
