Schengen Visa Question

[Terpe]

Unless things have changed the better option is to tick for multiple entries.
It has to be said that not all Embassies/Consulates follow the same protocols. Some quite happily issue multiple entry visa's and other's do not. Personally I'm not sure about the German standard approach.

Quite a few folks here have been issued with multiple entry visas with validity from 2 - 4 years. Very useful to have as it certainly saves plenty of time and trouble for any future trips to EU land.

... it seems to me, there's no SET format applicable to the timespans of Schengen Visas; and their duration would appear to be at the discretion of the individual European Embassies issuing them.

Bit daft, really, to increase the validity of multiple entry visas from the [?normal] 6 months, to between 2 and *4 yrs ... ... kinda defeats the whole object of the exercise since, by *then, MOST entrants will have ALREADY qualified for British Citizenship.
