Since it summer season and most of us are thinking of spending our vacation in one of the European countries, I just listed some useful information about most of the European countries such as Country name, Symbol, Currency, EU member (For the visa if it is within the EU then visa is a must) and finally the Time zone.

However, in this list is not included Saudi Arabia because they have different requirements, please check the Saudi visa application with time to ensure you can get all the paper work necessary.

      meh you need a schengen visa. The fastest is from the Spanish embassy usually within two day. But you need to submit a ticket + hotel confirmation to a Spanish city (I usually tell my travel agent to book me any ticket and hotel, print the confirmation then cancel it). Otherwise it may take up to 2 weeks at the Italian embassy.

      Its says if it’s EU then you need a Schengen Visa, but Vatican is not in the EU so how come it needs a Schengen Visa?

      Meh I have been to the Vatican. It’s a tiny country in Italy and the only way in is if you fly to Italy (Rome) and to enter Italy you need a schengen visa.
