Depending upon how long you are going to be in Europe, you most likely do not need a Schengen Visa. I believe if you have a valid passport and are traveling for leisure, as long as you are out of the EU within 90 days, you are fine. If you are just going for a few days in each country it will be no problem. If you are concerned, go to the embassy website for each of those countries and check it out.
Well, “Kelly M” has answered what applies to a U.S. citizen. Since you hold another citizenship you will need to go with the provisions applying to that; your U.S. visa has no relevance for determing the visa requirement for Europe..
Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago do not need a visa as tourist to the United Kingdom. ..
For the Schengen countries on the European continent however, you are not visa exempted. You need to apply for ONE Schengen tourist visa which is valid for France, Italy, and Austria among 22 other countries. The visa needs to be applied for at the Embassy/Consulate of the country in which you plan to stay the longest time. If that should equal you must apply to the first country you enter (France).
The application must be addressed to the consulate which covers the U.S. state you are presently living in on your E-2 visa. .. .. ..
If you should have problems to see the website of a French consulate [just get a screen with "dede"] feel free to send my a mail and I’ll get you the appropriate web address.
