If you have gone through a Schengen visa application, you would know how rigorous the process is; not to mention the number of documents that are required to prove your solvency and strong ties to your home country. Given this fact, a lot of countries trust this screening process and have come to acknowledge it as their own. Otherwise, other countries such as those found in Europe are in line to join Schengen so they are already accepting Schengen visas for entry into their borders.

TRIVIA: There are 3 additional European microstates — Monaco, San Marino, and the Vatican — that can be considered as de facto within the Schengen Countries given how they don’t have border controls with the countries that surround them. However, it’s important to note that they are not official Schengen member states since they have not signed documents for it. (But of course, it’s fine to visit with a Schengen visa).
