Schengen Visa: refers to the visa issued according to the Schengen agreement. The agreement, named after it was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg, stipulates the single visa policy of member countries. According to this agreement, the visa issued by any Schengen member country is also considered 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".
