Schengen visa application while in Europe on a ship

10/13/2016 6:14:14 PM

The general rule is that Schengen visas cannot be issued at the border.

However, there are special exceptions from this (Schengen Visa Code, article 36 and annex IX) for seamen who leave service on a ship in a Schengen port and need to transit the Schengen area to return to their home country.

Such a visa must be arranged through the shipping company (who has to make certain guarantees) — contact your employer ASAP and let them manage the paperwork.
