Long Term Schenghen Visa?

[theglobalinvestor]

Has anyone gotten a long term schenghen visa even when technically not eligible? For example, I don't meet the requirments, but I have had 3 schenghens about 10 years ago and 1 schenghen about 5 years ago.

According to the newly adopted visa “cascade” regime for India, Indian nationals can now be issued long-term, multi-entry Schengen visas valid for two years after having obtained and lawfully used two visas within the previous three years. The two-year visa will normally be followed by a five-year visa, if the passport has sufficient validity remaining. During the validity period of these visas, holders enjoy travel rights equivalent to visa-free nationals.

To qualify for a long-duration visa under the Cascade scheme, one should have lawfully used 2 Schengen visas in the last three years. However, I have heard of people getting long term visas in the first few attempts. Recently a friend received a visa with a one-year validity for their second-ever Schengen visa.

Hope then for people like me with multiple Schengen stamps but not as per recent cascade requirement !
