Understand single, double and multiple entries, visa validity and the difference between validity and permitted stay.
Entries
A multiple-entry visa can permit repeated entries during its validity, but the authorised duration and 90/180-day rule still apply.
Travel history
Previous lawful travel, genuine need and passport validity can be relevant to the decision.
Read the sticker
Always check the number of entries, validity dates, duration of stay and territorial scope printed on the visa.
Remember: Country-specific instructions and applicant circumstances can change the final document list. Always check the responsible mission’s current requirements before submission.
