From what I understand it is a multiple entry Schengen visa issued for one to five years which allows stays/visits for up to 90 days per 6 months. This is normally issued to individuals who frequently visit family/for frequent business trips etc and I imagine that all Schengen states are able to issue this.Directive/2004/38/EC wrote:What is a "circulation Schengen Visa"? Do all Schengen member states issue it?
It would indeed make sense and I believe that at least one year circulation visas are commonplace with family members of EU nationals.ca.funke wrote:If issued to spouses of EU-citizens, this visa makes lots of sense!
I did not specifically apply requesting a 3 year CSV, if memory serves I requested a MULT. entry for 365 days. The head of the visa section made a judgement to issue me a 3 year one based on the foolish mistake the embassy made in affixing a stranger's Schengen visa in my passport (and I suspect mine in his).skilachi wrote:Hi,
Just wanted to ask on what grounds did you apply for the circulation visa? I'm thinking of applying for one. Currently a UK permanent residence and self employed as an IT Contractor
You're right, it doesn't. I remember that it was the visa officer who wrote 365 days against 'number of days of intended visit/transit'. He said it didn't matter if my actual travel schedule was a lot shorter.skilachi wrote:Hi, thanks for your reply. Thing is, on the form, you can only specify either single or multiple entry, it doesn't give you the option to choose 3,6 months or 1-2 years visa.
Guess I will have to write 1-2 years in front when I tick multiple entry.
