Visa and entry requirements for Europe
Whether you need a visa to travel to Europe largely depends on which country you are from and which European country you are travelling to. Many nationalities do not need a visa to travel to European countries within the Schengen Agreement, but citizens from select countries will need to obtain a Schengen visa to travel to Europe, which will typically cost a fee.
