The first step is to determine what you REALLY want to do in Europe. It is hard to any border authority believe that someone will be a "tourist" for longer than 6 months, especially in Europe, where things are INCREDIBLY expensive. When you enter Europe they might ask for you to show that you have a determined amount of money that way they will have a guarantee that you will not depend on the their money to survive and even leave the country. If you want to work or even study the story will be different, however you wil also have to show that you have enough money to stay there. And I am certain they do not go making your tourism visa longer than 6 months for any reason like "hey I just want to explore Europe more". I am sure they will have an iffy feeling about it and chances are you will have it denied.

I know and understand. 6 months visa would be enough as a tourist. But, I would love to get Business/Work Visa. I have started my business here in India, I will love to extend it in Europe.

Getting to europe can be very hard and you need a plan, a blue print of what you want to do in europe because you need to answer that question before your visa would be processed.

In order to get a visa for Europe for a longer term, you will need to apply for a work permit or work visa. Depending on your nationality, you may also be eligible to apply for a long-term residence permit.

The total number of countries in Europe is 51, including the 27 members of the European Union plus the countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) and the members of the European Economic Area (EEA).

If you wish to travel to each country in Europe during your first time there, it may be possible to obtain a Schengen visa for a period of 6 months to a year or more, depending on the purpose of your visit. However, this will depend on your nationality and the country you are visiting. It is also important to note that it is not always possible to obtain a Schengen visa for a period of more than 6 months. It is recommended that you contact your local embassy or consulate to find out what the requirements are for obtaining a visa for the country you intend to visit.

To obtain a longer-term visa for Europe, you will need to apply for a specific type of visa (e.g. student, work, family reunification) and meet the requirements set by the European country you wish to visit. Contact the embassy or consulate of that country for more information..

The process of obtaining a long-term visa for Europe can vary depending on the specific country you want to visit and your reason for staying. Generally, there are a few steps you can follow to increase your chances of obtaining a long-term visa:


Determine which European country you want to visit: Each European country has its own specific visa requirements, so it's important to research the specific country you want to visit to understand the visa requirements and the process for obtaining a long-term visa.


Determine your purpose for staying: The purpose of your stay will determine the type of visa you will need to apply for. Common reasons for staying long-term in Europe include studying, working, or joining family members who are already living in Europe.


Gather the required documents: Depending on the purpose of your stay, you may need to provide a variety of documents, such as proof of financial means to support yourself, proof of health insurance, and a letter of invitation from a family member or employer.


Apply for a long-term visa: Once you have gathered all the required documents, you can submit your application for a long-term visa at the appropriate embassy or consulate in your home country.


Attend an interview: Depending on the specific country you are visiting, you may need to attend an interview at the embassy or consulate to discuss your reasons for visiting and provide additional information.


Wait for a decision: Once you have submitted your application and attended an interview (if required), you will need to wait for a decision on your visa application. Processing times can vary depending on the country and the type of visa you are applying for.


It's important to note that the process of obtaining a long-term visa for Europe can be complex and time-consuming, so it's important to start the process well in advance of your planned travel dates.


If you are planning to work in Europe for an extended period, a work permit or working visa would be the most appropriate type of visa to apply for. The process of obtaining a work permit or working visa can be more complex than obtaining a standard tourist visa, but it will allow you to legally work in Europe and potentially stay for a longer period of time.


To obtain a work permit or working visa for Europe, you will typically need to have a job offer from a European employer, who will need to provide you with a contract and other supporting documents. You will also need to meet any relevant educational or work experience requirements, as well as demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to support yourself while you are living and working in Europe.


The specific requirements for obtaining a work permit or working visa can vary depending on the country you want to work in, so it's important to research the requirements carefully and work closely with your potential employer and any immigration officials you may need to interact with.


Overall, obtaining a work permit or working visa can be a complex process, but it is an essential step if you want to work legally and stay in Europe for an extended period of time.

You should try to get a work permit or working visa for Europe if you want to travel more than four years to any of the countries in the European Union. If you want to travel more than six years to any of the countries in the European Union, you should apply for a Schengen visa.

Obtaining a long-term visa for Europe can vary depending on your specific circumstances, the country you plan to visit or reside in, and the purpose of your stay. Here are some general steps to consider:

Determine the purpose and duration of your stay: Identify the reason for your long-term stay, such as work, study, or family reunification. Each purpose may have different visa requirements and procedures.

Research visa requirements: Visit the official website of the embassy or consulate of the specific European country you plan to visit. Look for information on long-term visas, including the requirements, documentation, and application process. Some countries may require you to apply from your home country, while others may allow you to apply from within Europe.

Gather the necessary documents: Prepare the required documents, such as a valid passport, application form, photographs, proof of purpose (such as a job offer, acceptance letter from a university, or family relationship documentation), proof of financial means to support yourself, health insurance, and any other specific documents requested by the embassy or consulate.
