If I have a visit visa to the UK, do I need a separate visa for other countries in Europe?

Yes, you will need a separate visa for other countries in Europe in most cases. The UK is not part of the Schengen Area, which consists of 26 European countries that allow visitors with a Schengen visa to travel freely between them.

Here's a breakdown:

• Schengen Area:  Countries like France, Germany, Italy, Spain, etc., are part of the Schengen Area. A Schengen visa allows you to visit any of these member countries.
• UK:  The United Kingdom has its own separate visa system. A UK visit visa only grants access to the UK.

Applying for Separate Visas:

• You can apply for visas for each country you plan to visit separately through their respective embassies or consulates.
• Some countries might offer combined visas if they have close ties with the UK, but this is not very common.

Planning Your Trip:

• To determine which visas you need, research the countries you want to visit in Europe and check their visa requirements for your nationality.
• Consider your itinerary. If the UK is your main destination and you only have short stopovers in other European countries, you might not need a separate visa for those countries, depending on their specific regulations.
