Schengen space Information and news about Schengen countries

From January 1st 2007, Schengen states will increase the visa duty from 35 Euros to 60 Euros - because it did not cover the cost of application processing. The price is comparable to the cost of other states.
60 Euros is a bit lower than US $80 in december 2006; convert it to your local currency.
