Elimination of Schengan visa for Peruvians

Post by howesph.01 » Fri Nov 06, 2015 12:26 pm

Peru and Colombia have confirmed they are eliminating the Schengan visa, possibly coming in to effect by the end of December 2015 (with new bio-metric passports).

My friend would like to come over to europe and travel with me next year.

I am trying to work out if this means she will be entitled to 90 days in each country or 90 days in Europe before she has to return to Peru.

My understanding is, for example, she could spend 90 days in spain then travel on to france and spend 90 days there and then on to another country and so and so on as long as she has proof of funds. Is this correct?

Help much appreciated.

Thankyou.

Philip

No. I think that it's 90 days for the whole of the Schengen zone.

She will issued with a 90-day tourist visa upon arrival at her first port of entry in an EU (schengen) state and this visa will permit a total of 90 days stay, covering the Schengen area. It won't allow her 90 days in each different Schengen state.

As casa said, you can only have 90 days on every 6 months

Now, for Colombian citizens, their government did announce that they can travel from the 3rd of December 2015, they managed to get biometrics passports already, but for Peruvians it is a different story, they will announce only next week, who is awarded the $102 million contract to produce the passports, so it will be between a Dutch company, and a French one, and only then, they will start from the 31st of December to produce the biometric passport, on the other hand, the peruvian Home Office did not confirm yet from which date will be possible for their citizens, to fravel without a schengen visa.
