Not so long ago, the countries were named, which with special generosity distribute to foreigners permission to enter. Moreover, they can get Schengen for several years and travel every year without additional hassle.
Spain
One of the most loyal to foreigners state will easily issue a visa for six months or a year if at least one short-term Schengen is marked in the passport. Spanish visa holders can safely apply for a permit for several years.
Greece
Another state that almost always gives permission to enter is Greece. Several years ago, the Ministry of Tourism announced that it would now be able to provide foreigners with visas for several years - from 3 to 5.
Many tourists note the high-quality work of the consulate: documents are reviewed quickly and in an orderly manner.
Slovakia
The state has promised to give a visa for a period of 5 years to those who have one Schengen. It was 9 years ago. In reality, it turned out a little differently: first-time applicants are issued visas for six months or a year, with repeated applications - for two years.
Finland
This country is especially generous in distributing visas to foreigners: in the case of the first application, you easily get a visa for a month, and the second time - for a year. Visa application centers in St. Petersburg are more loyal than in Moscow, but there are chances to get a long-term visa in the capital.
Schengen cost
The usual fee for a standard tourist visa is 35 euros, for an urgent one - from 70 euros. However, when contacting the consulate not directly, but through the visa center, you must pay what is called a service fee. This amount depends on the exchange rate, find out the information on the website of the visa center.
