- Your entry point into one of the Schengen nations or the member nation where you intend to spend most of your time is a requirement for your Schengen visa application.
- You must apply for a visa at one of the embassy offices in Doha or a visa center, depending on your intended itinerary or tour package.
- The consulate may issue you a single entry, double entry, or multiple entrance visa depending on your purpose for traveling there.
