Cheap travel to Europe: select a date, the country, and visas

Want inexpensive travel to Italy, go on a cruise on the Baltic Sea, to fly on the weekend in Denmark or the Netherlands to overtake a bicycle? We advise how to organize the travel budget.

We are planning a trip

It seems that there are several countries in Europe, where to go for the cheap is unlikely to succeed. For example, in Switzerland, do not fly agility, and the food in Iceland, even at the supermarket worth anything. And very expensive housing in both countries. But even there you can take a trip budget. It is important to plan the trip in advance, for example, three months before the trip. Ideally, that it was not July and August and the last week of December - beginning of January, and not holidays. After all, at this time the price of transport and housing can rise significantly. It is also important not to fall overnight at major sporting or cultural events such as the Olympics, World Cup, Champions League or the Eurovision Song Contest. Now we have to select the country, and with it - to find out whether there needs a visa and how to get it. Australia ETA

Where no visa is required, and with which you can travel almost all over Europe

Belarusians do not need a visa to all countries of the CIS, as well as Georgia, Ukraine, Turkey, and Serbia. Apart from them there are still suspended visa-free states. This Montenegro and Macedonia (with an invitation or a voucher), and Albania, which can be accessed without a visa from April 1 to October 31. In the rest of Europe for the citizens of Belarus, it will need to get.

The presence of the current multiple Schengen visas for Belarusians may be located in any country in Europe, except for Britain and its dominions (except Gibraltar, but with conditions), Ireland, the Faroe Islands, and Greenland. That is, even if you are going to Croatia, Cyprus, and Romania, and you do not have the relevant national visa, but there is a valid multyshengen, then you will miss it.
If you do not multyshengena but remained acting Romanian or Bulgarian visa, then they are allowed to fly to Cyprus or Greece.
When obtaining a British visa can visit the Kingdom and its European possessions and Ireland, but only if the visa in the UK.

How to make?

The easiest way to make a Schengen visa. Belarus is represented by many embassies and consulates that issued it. If applied to the multyshengen, the significant dependence of the visa from your travel purposes, and even the first entry into the Schengen area there. That is, even with the Polish visa, you can go to Kaunas, then to fly to Malta. But what country you choose to supply? Most often it is Poland, Lithuania, and Spain.

Why? While the visa fee is always the same (60 euros) and a list of documents in all diplomatic missions about the same, but the probability of the conditions for obtaining multyshengena different. With a "clean" passport (without a visa), it is best to refer to the Lithuanians. If all the conditions for obtaining a visa is likely to get multyshengen for at least 3 months. Spaniards often make the first visa for a year, but with the condition of significant earnings and a decent amount on the card account.

If you have already received Schengen visas in the past three years, it should be made to the Poles or the Lithuanians. If the Polish shop to purchase goods for at least 200 zlotys (about 47 euros) and place them on Tax-free system, then before the next trip, you can apply for a Schengen Polish shopping. It may issue a year or even two. Lithuanians after the first multiple-entry visa may also be a second issue for a long time.

Make a British visa Schengen harder. But everything is possible. List of documents conditions, including money, a little more. Belarus tourist visa is issued only through the Visa Application Center and its clearance costs about 130-140 dollars. But the issue once and repeated at least six months. In the future, you can count on a visa for up to 10 years. Know more Aus visa

Embassy visa center or agency?

Now you have to decide on the place of supply. In the embassy (consulate), especially in Lithuania and Poland, often in long lines, and it is difficult to enroll. The Italian, French and Estonian embassy people much less, but also consider the documents it more closely. Visa Center will save those who do not want to sacrifice a few hours of the day but will have to pay about 18-20 euros. There can usually apply for a visa and come at a convenient time. The rest of the difference between the Embassy and the Exhibition Center is not: nowhere free counseling or fill out the form for you - will not. But to the visa agencies to address it does not make sense. Nothing will make the overarching there, collect documents still have you, and the money will pay rather big.
