What is a Schengen visa?

A Schengen visa is meant for short stays in or transit through the Schengen area of a duration of no more than 90 days in any 180-day period. A visa issued by one Schengen state is valid for travelling in any Schengen state, but you must apply for the visa from the country of your main destination. If you are travelling to several Schengen states, none of which will be your main destination, you need to apply for the visa from the country that you will enter first.

How do you apply for a visa?

If you are in Madagascar, apply for your Schengen visa to Finland at the Consulate General of France. Please check the documents required for your application directly with the French Consulate General.
