Schengen Visa FAQs

You must apply to the embassy/consulate of your main destination (longest stay). If stays are equal, apply to the country of first entry. We analyze itineraries to determine optimal application strategy.
Standard requirements include: completed application form, passport photos, travel insurance (€30,000 coverage), flight itinerary, accommodation proof, financial means (€60-95/day), and purpose-specific documents. Some countries require additional items.
Applications can be submitted up to 6 months before travel but no later than 15 calendar days before. We recommend applying 4-6 weeks before departure to account for processing and potential requests for additional documents.
You can appeal within the timeframe specified (usually 30 days) or reapply with strengthened documentation. We specialize in overcoming previous rejections by addressing the specific reasons cited in the refusal letter.
