Mine issued by Austria was 14 days long and one issued by Denmark was 21 days long. Both tourist visas, former issued in the US and latter in Canada. | |

| Aug 20, 2018 at 16:15 | comment | added | phoog | Also note that in some cases the application must be submitted to a consulate that isn't the nearest one. For example, much of southwestern Connecticut (except Fairfield county) is in the jurisdiction of Germany's consulate in Boston, even though it is closer to New York City in terms of both physical distance and the rail network. | |
| Aug 20, 2018 at 16:05 | comment | added | phoog | @JonathanReez sure. The Schengen Visa Code specifies (also Article 24) that applicants for multiple-entry visas with a longer period of validity should "prove the need or justify the intention to travel frequently and/or regularly" as well as "prove his integrity and reliability," and the US handles the same issue differently. I agree that it could be helpful to frequent travelers to know whether certain countries are more likely to consider such a request favorably. I didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea about how the US system works. | |
| Aug 20, 2018 at 15:37 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | @phoog many applicants expect to receive a five (or at least one) year visa if they're a frequent traveler, but often consulates ignore their pleas and force them to spend a lot of money on visa applications each year. But there might be consulates for each country that are more reasonable. | |
| Aug 20, 2018 at 14:52 | comment | added | phoog | @JonathanReez the US issues visas on a reciprocity schedule that depends on the applicant's nationality. This may or may not result in a five- or ten-year visa. Russians, for example, get a three-year visa by default. But that's not particularly relevant to the Schengen area. The maximum validity of a Schengen short-stay visa is five years (Article 24). | |
| Aug 20, 2018 at 14:43 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | @MusoniusRufus yep, which can be very annoying for people who live far from the nearest consulate of that country. | |
| Aug 20, 2018 at 14:42 | comment | added | JonathanReez♦ | @Tor-EinarJarnbjo Good point. I'm referring to C visas with a duration of more than 6 months. E.g. the US routinely issues 5 or 10 year visas to all applicants. | |
