A Schengen visa is normally issued individually. However, it is possible to get a group visa for a group of between 5 and 50 people if the members of the group enter the Schengen territory, stay there and leave the territory as a group. A group visa is a transit visa or a visa limited to 30 days maximum. Group must have been formed prior to issuance of the visa.

A Group visa may be affixed to a group passport issued to a group of travelers. The person in charge of the group must have an individual passport and, where necessary, an individual visa.
