Schengen Visa FAQs

Common questions about Schengen visa applications and our services.

What is a Schengen Visa?
A Schengen Visa generally allows eligible travelers to visit participating Schengen countries during the validity period granted.
Which country should I apply through?
Apply to the consulate of the country where you will spend the most nights. If your stay is split equally between countries, apply to the country you will enter first. Always confirm with the consulate or its visa centre, as rules can vary by application.
Can I visit multiple Schengen countries?
Yes, subject to the visa validity and conditions granted.
Is travel insurance required?
Travel insurance is commonly required for Schengen visa applications.
How much bank balance should I maintain?
Financial requirements vary depending on trip duration, destination, and personal circumstances.
Do I need confirmed hotel bookings?
Applicants may be asked to provide accommodation arrangements as part of their application.
Can I apply if I am self-employed?
Yes. Business owners can submit business and financial documentation.
Is an employment letter necessary?
Employees are often requested to provide proof of employment and approved leave.
How early should I apply?
Applications can generally be submitted up to 6 months before travel, and usually no later than 15 calendar days before. Processing typically takes around 15 days but can be longer, so applying early is recommended, especially in peak travel seasons.
Do you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No. Visa decisions are made solely by the consulate, and no consultancy can guarantee approval. We help you prepare a complete, accurate application so it can be assessed properly.
What happens if my Schengen visa is refused?
The consulate gives a reason for refusal, and depending on the country you may be able to appeal or reapply. Visa fees paid to the authority are generally not refunded. Speak with an advisor before reapplying so the reasons can be addressed. Our service terms explain how our own fees are handled.
Can a Schengen visa guarantee entry?
Final admission decisions are made by border authorities upon arrival.
