schengen visa

[malchard888]

We recently got our German Schengen visa but it is only valid for 3 months but it appears that others have received visa for other EU countries with a much longer shelf life. Maybe its the luck of the draw and at the discretion of the staff member processing the documentation so just be aware if u are travelling elsewhere at a later date.

It's down to individual Embassy policy.
Not all Embassies/Consulates issue either longer validity or multiple entry visa.

You're most likely to get those from the French Embassy.
