How do I read and understand all the information on the Schengen visa sticker?

Your Schengen visa sticker contains all the key details about your visa validity and travel rights — and understanding it helps you avoid mistakes at the border. Here’s a quick guide from Outbound Singapore: 🔹 “From… Until…” → These are your visa’s start and end dates. You can only enter the Schengen Area within this period. 🔹 “Duration of stay” → The maximum number of days you’re allowed to stay in Schengen countries during that validity period (for example, “90 days”). 🔹 “Number of entries” → • 1 = Single-entry (you can enter only once) • 2 = Double-entry (enter twice) • MULT = Multiple-entry (enter and exit as many times as you want within the validity period) 🔹 “Issued in / on” → The city and date where your visa was granted. 🔹 “Remarks” or “Comments” → May include the main country of stay or specific conditions, such as “employment not permitted.” 🧭 Tip from Outbound Singapore: Always check the dates and duration before you travel. Overstaying or entering too early can cause future visa rejections. If you’re unsure, our team can review your visa sticker and explain it clearly before you fly.
