Do Russian citizens need a visa for Schengen area?

What that means

Apply before you travel, and check how long the visa lets you stay and whether it allows more than one entry. Residency can track the days against the visa you are given.

Staying longer than a holiday?

Visa days are one count. Long stays can also start a tax residency clock. See how Residency tracks tax residency.

Entry rules change, and border officers have the final say. Confirm with the Schengen area's official immigration site before you travel.
