The Schengen Visa allows stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. It is valid for multiple entries and permits travel within the Schengen Area, which includes Germany and several other European countries.

Long-Stay Visa (National Visa): If you plan to stay in Germany for more than 90 days, you will need a Long-Stay Visa.
