Do we need a travel insurance for Schengen?

When you're travelling in Europe, it's important to be able handle any medical emergencies that arise. With travel insurance though there are no worries about financial support or comfort when something goes wrong because your insurer will take care of everything for free!

What is the difference between a Schengen visa and a National visa?

Schengen visa (type C) is a short-stay travel document that allows visitors to enter and stay in one of the member countries for up to 90 days within any 180 day period. The European country of destination decides on the type and amount that they will accept as visas. In some cases, if you're going to another Schengen state for professional reasons or visiting family there then it may be worth asking them about their policies before arriving because these types could outweigh any other ones applied against tourism visits within your own backyard!

National visas (type D) are only valid for establishments or stays of more than 90 days in the country which issued them. However, some (including Italian citizen’s spouse workers students visitors) require a long-term stay and can travel freely throughout Schengen area while others will receive an ID card upon arrival that grants access to this privilege as well-the transit countries aren't part available though since these policies vary by nationality!

All domestic users must have a valid visa to enter the Schengen area, regardless of how long their stay will be and no matter what kind travel document they hold. This includes holders who possess an residence permit that allows them access into this particular region-- except if it's not really usable for traveling purposes due as being too temporary in nature!

Nationals of other countries - Citizens of some countries are exempted from the requirement for a visa to enter the Schengen area for a short stay or transit.
