WHAT IS A SCHENGEN VISA?

A Schengen Visa is a visa issued by a country within the European Union who forms part of the Schengen State. Foreign citizens from a country which is not part of the European Union require a Schengen Visa if they intend to travel to a country which is part of the EU or EFTA.

A Schengen Visa enables the passport holder entry into countries which form part of the Schengen State who are then able to travel freely
throughout the Schengen zone. Internal border controls have disappeared and there are little or no stops and checks within the
zone.

TIPS FOR INTERESTED
APPLICANT

Application forms filled in block capitals where
stated.

Original documents are
always best to provide.


If travel insurance is
required ensure you have sufficient level of cover for the entire area visiting and duration.

For proof of financial
means ensure you have
sufficient money in your bank account. If you are in your overdraft you are
still likely to be granted a VISA but only for your time in that country. If you
have money in your
account you are likely to
be granted a longer visa.

This is dependent on the embassy and not at all guaranteed.


Ensure you have sufficient validity for your passport.


Application forms must be signed. When sending passports
do not send in passport
covers.

Some countries allow those with biometric passports in without a visa – check with relevant embassy

Ensure your passport is not older than 10 years as on date of applying for a Schengen visa, and should be valid for next six months at least.


Ensure you give enough
time to obtain your visa. Check with relevant embassy that you require or don’t require a visa prior to entry.


Remember to send all
documents including your passport. Some countries allow those
with service or diplomatic passports in without a visa – check with the relevant embassy.


Send in the correct number of photographs with application (ensure they meet guidelines – recent, taken in last month, colour, taken with white background, dimensions etc).


Application forms filled in black ink where stated.


Proof of residency or
renewal or UK residency
visas where required (this may be required to be in the same passport).


Check application form is up to date and verify all requirements with
embassy.


All fields should be filled in on application forms.

Ensure you have at least 1 blank page in your passport for the visa(Some embassies require 2 – 4 blank pages).


Ensure all dates on the
application form match
tickets, letters accompanying the
application, etc. - These affected a very close pal of mine. Although, he lied bout his age, but he was stupid to the extent of not making the changes in one of the documents he took along to the embassy.

Ensure you send copies or all documents where
required (including
passport information
pages, residency permits, etc).
