5 countries that are willing to will give you long-term "Schengen"

Travel — one of the greatest pleasures in life. Russian writer Ivan Bunin, knowing a lot about this, wrote: "people make happy three things: love, interesting work and the opportunity to travel".

Was recently named the countries that more generous others give the Russians permission to enter. They rarely refuse, and they have a good chance to obtain a "Schengen" for some years, then to travel without the hassle every year.

The website tells where and what is the easiest way to get a Schengen visa on their own.

Spain





Spain, perhaps the most loyal to the citizens of the state, if we are talking about issuing visas. If your passport is already at least one short-term "Schengen", the Spanish will give you a six-month or one-year visa. And if you have a Spanish visa, you can count on a multi — year visa- it happens quite often.

The author of the post received the first Schengen visa in my life when reported in her questionnaire that will take Spanish lessons at a language school in Barcelona (in any language school for foreigners as there are serious courses, and facilitated lessons for tourists — just an hour and a half a day). In addition, the desire to learn the culture of Spain, Embassy charge for a visa is almost twice less than usual.

• The Spain visa application centre

Italy





Two years ago Italy announced that, if in the passport the Russians already have one short term "Schengen" (not necessarily Italian), it is ready to issue one-year visa, and if two or more then two years. Since then, the Italian Consulate has not changed his word.

A huge plus is that Italy issue visas for the reservation of tickets. So tourists can cheat and get a "Schengen", not even going to visit the country of pizza and pasta.

• Embassy of Italy in Russia

Greece





Greece is one of those States which issue visas to Russians. In summer the Ministry of tourism of the country has announced that it will now give tourists from our country three-year Schengen visa, and if the person never violated the visa regime, and five.

Tourists recently praised the Consulate of Greece for the excellent work: here's a quick and orderly review the documents and make a decision within two days after treatment. In addition, 2016 is declared in Greece as the Year of Russia, and the Russians are waiting with open arms, rich moussaka and a cold ouzo.

Slovakia





In 2012, Slovakia has promised to give the Russians, who already have one "Schengen", a five-year visa. In fact, the visa officers were not as generous: the first call is usually issued half-yearly or yearly visa, and when re — two years. Nevertheless, this is a good option since denied the Russians very rarely.

Finland





Generous multiple Schengen for Russians and Finland. Especially loyal St. Petersburg visa application centres: North-West region, they simply give month visa when you first apply and annual — in the second. In Moscow too it is possible to first try to obtain a long stay visa, but a little less.
