Schengen visa question

[lauracj]

Hi,

My husband and I currently live in Germany. He works for the Dept of Defense and I came as his spouse. However, I'm not a US citizen but just a US permanent resident. We want to visit Spain this summer, can I apply for a Schengen visa at the Spain consulate in Germany? Also, is there a type of Schengen visa that is valid for a longer period of time so I don't keep on applying if we need to visit a Schengen country?

Any info you can offer would be great! Thanks!

Hello,
For non-EU country citizens who wish to visit Europe as tourists, they are required to get only the common Schengen Visa from the Embassy/Consulate of any of the Schengen countries. After this, they may visit any or all of the Schengen countries as tourists without hinderance. They are not required to get separate visas for all the (Schengen) European countries they wish to visit. This applies, of course, only for visit to those countries who have implemented the Schengen agreement.
the details on the validity of your visa will be available for you in the consulate.
