Here are 29 Schengen countries offering 5 years visa

A five-year multiple-entry Schengen visa allows travellers to visit any of the 29 Schengen countries multiple times over five years, provided they do not stay for more than 90 days within a 180-day period.

Designed for frequent travellers, business professionals, and individuals with strong travel histories, this visa offers several benefits, including eliminating the need for repeated applications, reducing visa fees and processing time, and providing flexibility and convenience by minimising documentation and interview requirements.

Issuance is at the discretion of the embassy or consulate, but applicants with a higher likelihood of approval include those who have previously held a multiple-entry Schengen visa for at least two years within the last three years, frequent travellers visiting the Schengen Zone two to three times per year, and individuals with a history of compliance, no overstays, and valid travel documentation.

Additionally, applicants must provide a detailed cover letter justifying their need for long-term travel, demonstrate financial stability with proof of sufficient funds, and possess comprehensive long-term Schengen travel insurance.
