FAQs
You should submit your Schengen visa application at the consulate of the country you plan to base yourself in. If you normally reside in Singapore, for example, you should lodge your application with the consulate or embassy of your destination in Singapore.
If you plan to visit several Schengen states, you should apply for your visa in the country you plan to arrive in first.
A 'short stay' Schengen visa allows you to stay in the Schengen area for 90 days in a 180-day period.
The exact length of validity of your visa is shown under the heading Duration of visit. '01' indicates a single-entry visa; '02' a double-entry visa, and 'MULT' a multiple-entry visa.
As a rule of thumb, it will take 15 calendar days to process your visa application. However, it may take between 30 and 60 days in some cases.
Due to the possibility of a longer processing time, you should apply for your visa as early as possible.
A Schengen visa might be ideal for people who live, work or study in Singapore, but do not hold a Singapore passport (and therefore do not benefit from visa-free entry to the 27 Schengen nations).
For example, those working or studying in Singapore with a Thai, Filipino or Vietnamese passport would need to apply for a Schengen visa to visit the Schengen area.
Allianz Travel Insurance offers travel cover for different needs:
Single Trip cover: Designed for people who are only likely to make one or two trips in the next year.
Annual cover: Coverage for a full 12 months, unlimited trips (maximum 90 days per trip).
