How to apply: Schengen short-stay visa (type C)
At the consulate of the Schengen country you'll spend the longest time in (or, for equal stays, the first one you'll enter), usually the one responsible for where you legally live. Apply at least 15 days and no more than 6 months before you travel; you may need to book an appointment, and your fingerprints are taken when you apply. Some consulates use visa service centres, which may charge an extra fee.

- Your fingerprints, taken when you apply (some applicants are exempt)
