Transit Schengen visa
When a citizen of a country that does not have a visa-free regime with the EU plans a trip abroad and at the same time needs to cross a Schengen country, then an additional Schengen transit visa must be obtained. If you are interested in legal support in obtaining such a visa, contact the specialists of the law firm “Prikhodko&Partners“. Specializing in migration law and regularly working with such client requests, we know how to take all necessary actions in the legal sphere quickly and efficiently.
What is worth knowing about a transit Schengen visa?
This visa is required for temporary travel through the Schengen area. Usually, these are short-term visas of type A. They can be issued for several days, depending on the period that a foreigner needs to transit to their destination.
As our practice shows, this issue is usually most relevant for citizens of Asian countries, since almost every trip involves crossing the territory of the Schengen area. Citizens of India, Bangladesh, Nepal, and the Philippines often contact us for assistance in obtaining a Schengen visa.
Visa required for entry into Ukraine
When it comes to citizens of the listed states, with which Ukraine also has a visa regime, to cross the territory of our state for the purpose of further transit through the EU, it is also necessary to obtain a Schengen transit visa. Another way of entry is through the territory of Moldova. You must first obtain an invitation and permission to enter through Moldova, and only then will you be able to enter the territory of Ukraine.
It is worth noting that this issue also remains relevant for foreigners who remained in the territory of Ukraine during the martial law period and need to return home or leave for another country. In such situations, you need to obtain a Schengen transit visa.
When do Ukrainians need a transit Schengen visa?
Since June 11, 2017, a visa-free regime has been in effect between Ukraine and the EU, which allows Ukrainians to freely enter the Schengen area and stay there for 90 days out of 180. This means that, as a general rule, a Schengen visa is not required. However, there are situations when a traveler has used the 90 days provided for by the visa-free regime and now needs to transit through the Schengen area, traveling again to another country. In this case, you will need to apply for a transit Schengen visa in order to cross the entire territory where you are going to travel without hindrance.
What is the procedure for obtaining such a visa?
Applying for a Schengen visa is done through the consulate of one of the Schengen zone countries. If you are interested in a transit visa, then you will need to provide all the necessary documents confirming the purpose of your trip. This means having documents for a flight through the country in which you need to obtain a Schengen visa.
You should be aware that the consul may additionally ask some questions to make sure that the applicant does not intend to remain illegally in the country during the transit stay and not leave on a transit visa.
