Number of entries requested

An ‘entry’ means crossing the border into the Schengen area.

Select ‘One’ entry, if you are only planning to travel within Schengen countries

Select ‘Two’ entries, if you plan to visit a country that is not part of Schengen during your trip and if you intend to return to the Schengen area on the same visa. For example, if you plan to visit the UK for some days while in Schengen, and intend to travel back to Schengen again, you will need two entries as UK is not a part of Schengen.

Select ‘Multiple’, if you can justify the need for multiple entries based on specific travel plans.
