Schengen visa covers a planned stay of no more than 90 days within any 180-day period. Since it covers a period of less than 90 days, it is a short-term visa. With a Schengen visa, you have the right to travel freely in Schengen States.
 

STUDENT VISA

If you have been accepted as a student in an educational institution in Europe, you will receive a student visa to enter the country. Those who will apply from our country to the Embassy or Consulate of the European country they will apply to for a student visa. The evaluation of the European student visa application can take up to 60 days from the day you apply, and sometimes up to 90 days.

You can get support from our consultants to prepare the documents, translations, insurance, or more required to apply for a student visa or for current information on visa requirements.

EMPLOYEE CARD

The employee card is a long-term residence type that people who want to come to Europe for work and stay for more than 3 months apply for. Your application for a work card to European countries varies from country to country, but you can usually get a residence permit for up to 2 years, depending on the duration of the employment contract. Workers with an employee card have the right to reside in Europe and have free movement in the Schengen area during the validity period of the card. You can always get detailed information and support from us on how to apply for an employee card with which documents and how to make an appointment with the consulate for more topics.
 

BUSINESS VISA

The Schengen Business Visa is a type of visa that business people who want to travel to Europe for business purposes should apply for. The business visa is an authorization given by the designated country/destination countries in the Schengen Area only to citizens of countries that require a mandatory visa from the Schengen Area to do business. The visa holder does not need to be a citizen of the designated country for following the business agenda, but there are also limitations to such authorization. If you plan to visit only one country, then you need to apply to the embassy/consulate/visa center of the country you will visit. If you plan to visit multiple countries, where you need to apply depends on the number of days you will spend in each country. If you spend an equal number of days in each country, then you need to apply to the embassy/consulate/visa center of the first country you will arrive in. If you spend an unequal number of days in each country, then you need to apply to the embassy/consulate/visa center of the country where you will spend more time.

How Long is a Commercial Schengen Visa Valid?

A commercial visa is generally valid for stays that do not exceed 90 days. If you plan to travel extensively, it is recommended that you fill out the "multiple entry" section of the application form.
