Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.
You apply for a travel visa as you normally would. However, you do not have to apply for visas for each country, as long as you stay in the Schengen area. You only need a Schengen Visa if you are not one of the approved countries. You can use an inquiry tool, such as the one The Netherlands has on their visa website, to see if you need one.  For instance, United States citizens do not need a visa to enter this area, as long as they have a blue passport. They can stay up to 3 months. Nonetheless, you should still check the passport requirements for the country you are visiting. For instance, your passport may need to be valid for 6 months out from your date of entry. However, a whole list of countries do not have this benefit, such as Russia, Bahrain, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Turkey, Yemen, and Zimbabwe. The first method you should use is to choose the country where you will spend the most time. So if you're planning to spend 10 days in Germany and 5 days in France, you'd apply with Germany. If you are staying an equal amount of time in every country, choose the one you're going to first. Though you can leave and come back within the 6 month period, you should check to see if your whole trip falls within the boundaries of the Schengen area. If it does not, you may need to apply for a visa in the other countries you're visiting.
