FOR NON-EU CITIZENS
You will need a
valid passport.
There are 28 countries whose nationals do not need a visa to visit the EU for three months or less. These include Australia, Canada, Croatia, Japan, New Zealand and the United States.
The list of countries whose nationals require permits to travel to the United Kingdom or Ireland differs slightly
from other EU countries. If in doubt, check with the nearest consulate of any EU country.
If your visa is from a country fully applying the Schengen rules, it automatically allows you to travel to
the other Schengen countries as well. Moreover, if you have a valid residence permit from one of those Schengen
countries, it is equivalent to a visa. You may need a national visa to visit non-Schengen countries.
Border officials in EU countries may ask for other supporting documents such as an invitation letter, proof of lodging,
return or round-trip ticket. For the precise requirements contact the local consular services of the EU country in question.
