Visa with Limited Territorial Validity
Plain English
It's a Schengen visa with limited territorial validity, allowing entry only to one or a few specific Schengen countries. It\'s issued in exceptional situations, like humanitarian grounds or when a normal Schengen visa can\'t be granted.
Why it matters
It restricts where you can travel inside the Schengen area. Travelling to a country outside the visa\'s scope can lead to refusal of entry.
