In order to facilitate the entry of citizens of certain countries, the member states of the Schengen area concluded a visa liberalisation agreement. This means that citizens of certain states could enter the Schengen area without a visa for 90 days. If there was no agreement between a state, the traveller needed a Schengen visa for the stay. This allowed the traveller to stay within the Schengen area for up to 90 days. A national visa was required for a longer stay.
