Hi,

You can apply for Schengen visa, and whether Schengen visa will or will not be granted to you is at sole discretion of the issuing officer who reviews your case and considers personal circumstances. You need to apply at the Schengen embassy or consulate responsible for your country. You can find additional information about Schengen visa here: Schengen visa (http://www.euro-dollar-currency.com/schengen_visa.htm). Good luck, let us know if you need more help.

Thank you for your response. I actually posted this subject because I applied  for Schengen Visa last week via Holland embassy. They said that Schengen Visa couldn't be printed on Travel Document like the one that I have. so you will get a visa only for Holland they said.

In case if they grant me a visa for Holland >>> Can I go to Germany for example after stamping from Amsterdam airport?


Thanks in advance ...

Oh, I see, your question relates to the travel document. You do not have Palestinian passport, correct?

In case you have Schengen visa for Holland only, then you can't travel to Germany. The visa includes a box called "Valid for". (see here for a sample Schengen visa picture (http://www.euro-dollar-currency.com/schengen_visa_picture.htm)). In case this box says "Etats Schengen", it means you can travel to any Schengen zone country. In case it lists some specific country (Netherlands in your case), you can go to this country only. You can find it explained here: Etats Schengen (http://www.euro-dollar-currency.com/etats_schengen.htm).

When you get your Schengen visa, also pay attention to the "Number of Entries" box. Multiple means you can come and leave Netherlands as you like.
Good luck and do not forget to get chocolate and tulips.  :)

I would not recommend getting lost in Germany with NL only visa. If you are lucky, you might get by. There is no border patrol, so you would not even know you were going through some border. But if bad luck turns on you, and you get stopped by a police officer when crossing the street on red light, when in accident, when a victim of robbery, when entering hospital, etc. etc. you could get in a big trouble (deportation and ban on future visits for 10 years).

Hi apapunas,

I'd like to inform you that I got Schengen Visa last Wednesday. I was really surprised because the official staff in the embassy told that you'd not grant Schengen Visa and they asked to change my booking flight. Any way I'm glad to go to Holland so I'll watch the world cup final among the oranges.

Thank you for your help>>>
