I think Schengen Visa allows you to travel the whole europe..

It's not quite the whole of europe, it's the 25 countries that make up the schengen area, and there's a few more joining soon. It doesn't though for example include ireland.

Amster-damaged with the girls scariest things in the Dam arent the "Windows" in the red-light district nor the coffee-shops,but the brit hen-parties

[eula mackay]

thanks everyone. im well pleased with the duration they granted me. its been a bit frustrating for myself and my husband being limited as to where we could go for a holiday.

amsterdam should be a good laugh. i cant wait!!! all them things that need discovering.

[Tawi2]

Things everyone should do in amsterdam off the top of my head,visit the sex museum,cannabis college,Ann Franks House,take a canal boat ride,hire a bicycle and visit the red-light district windows,Oh yeah and theres also a very small merkin museum Not that the merkins are small,probably average size as merkins go,but the collection isnt that large

Best coffee shops are Barneys(renown fried breakfast)Greenhouse(met the owner once or twice,guy called Arjan and his sidekick Franco)Bulldog,and Grey area

Just a thought! Does being granted a Schengen Visa [albeit issued by the FRENCH consulate] entitle the holder to onward journeys to other European cities (within the schengen area, of course) e.g., Rome ... on the same trip, should the opportunity arise?

When my wife gets her UK visa, will she be entitled to visit Ireland? Or will she need some special visa for that?

Thanks

Jim.

I think ... yes, as long as the main part of your stay is in the country corresponding to the consulate from which you obtained your visa.

Don't quote me though, I'd wait to hear from JoeBloggs or "somebody"!

It allows you to visit anywhere within the Schengen area on the same trip, or a different trip so long as you travel before the visa expires.

Travelling between countries within the Schengen area (plane/road/rail) you just simply won't have to go through any immigration control.

I am assuming you mean Eire rather than Northern Ireland. If so will need a special visa issued by the Irish Embassy. Some people do travel there through Northern Ireland and often get away without a visa, but just because you can get there it doesn't mean you are legally there. If found out you are likely to get deported and a black mark on your passport.
