Is the British visa a Schengen visa?

British visas are not Schengen visas, and Britain is not a Schengen country. Schengen visa refers to the visa issued according to the Schengen agreement. The agreement, named after it was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg, stipulated the single visa policy for member countries.

According to this agreement, a visa issued by any Schengen member country is also regarded as valid in all other member countries, and there is no need to apply for another visa. The country that implements this agreement is the so-called "Schengen country".

On November 12, 219, the European Parliament passed the Schengen visa reform program, which supported simplifying the Schengen visa application and issuance procedures, and at the same time "linked" the Schengen visa to a country's readmission of illegal immigrants. The new Schengen visa reform plan will be implemented around January 22.
