Don't comment if you don't know. It is possible to obtain a schengan visa direct from some embassies direct as long as you contact them first to ask. Those that do will inform of the process. I suggest you email a few ie Spain, France, Portugal etc and see. A schengan is valid across the EU although you are supposed to get a visa from the first country you visit or if visiting a few countries, the country where you will be spending most time. This is rarely enforced.
