A Schengen visa is a type of visa that allows individuals to travel freely within the Schengen Area, which is a group of 27 European countries that have abolished passport control at their mutual borders. The Schengen Area facilitates easy movement between member countries without the need for individual visas once a traveler has obtained a Schengen visa.
