I am planning to invite my brother and sister here in Germany this year or next year. I knew before that getting a Schengen Visa for them is better so that they can also travel to any Schengen member countries. If you are planning to travel in Europe especially in European Union and want to see more countries in EU, I recommend that you better apply for a Schengen Visa. If you dont' have any idea about Schengen Agreement, here is a little info about it courtesy of Wikipedia..thanks a lot for this info..it help and guide me too.
The Schengen Agreement
The Schengen Agreement was originally created independently of the European Union, in part due to the lack of consensus amongst EU members, and in part because those ready to implement the idea did not wish to wait for others to be ready to join. Especially United Kingdom and Denmark could not join the union, but Denmark joined later when Norway and other Nordic countries were allowed.
The Schengen Agreement was signed in Schengen, Luxembourg, on 15 June 1985, by Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Since Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg already had passport-free travel, the border tripoint of Luxembourg, Germany and France was considered a suitable place. The exact place of signing was onboard the boat Princesse Marie-Astrid on the Moselle River, near Schengen.
The Convention Implementing the Schengen Agreement, signed on 19 June 1990 by the five countries in Schengen, put the agreement into practice.
