Visa Types FAQ

Can I apply for more than one visa type at once?

No, your application is made under one category based on the main purpose of your trip. If your trip has several purposes, we help you choose the most accurate one.

What is the difference between a Tourist Visa and a Multiple-Entry Visa?

A Tourist Visa is usually for a single planned trip. A Multiple-Entry Visa is for travellers with an established visa history who need to enter the Schengen Area repeatedly over a period.

Do I need an invitation letter for a Family & Friends Visit?

In most cases, yes. We guide you and your host on what the letter needs to include so it meets embassy expectations.

Can Tripzo tell me which visa type I need?

Yes. Share the purpose and length of your trip, and we will confirm the right category before you apply.
