What 5 countries are not in Schengen?
While the Schengen Area covers 29 European countries, a few popular destinations in Europe are not part of it. Five key examples are: 1. United Kingdom (London, Edinburgh, etc.) 2. Ireland (Dublin, Cork) 3. Romania 4. Bulgaria 5. Cyprus This means a Schengen visa won’t grant you entry into these countries—for example, you cannot visit London with a Schengen visa—you’ll need to check their separate visa requirements. ✨ At Outbound Singapore, we help you plan your itinerary and guide you on whether you need only a Schengen visa or additional visas for countries outside the Schengen zone. That way, your European trip is smooth and hassle-free.
