The name Schengen is derived from a small town in Luxemburg, in Europe. Schengen countries encompass 26 European Countries. Some countries are part of the European Union, but do not belong to the Schengen area. These are the United Kingdom and Ireland. Other countries, like Norway and Iceland, are not part of the European Union, but are part of the Schengen area following a cooperation agreement signed with the Schengen States. Schengen began its journey in March 1995. Initially seven European Union countries signed an agreement to end internal border checkpoints and controls. At present, there are 26 Schengen countries.
With a Schengen visa, one may enter one country and travel freely throughout the Schengen zone. However, the Schengen Visa holders are not allowed to live permanently or work in Europe. Schengen Visa holders are only permitted to travel as a temporary visitor to the member countries.
