Schengen Visa Application

[rockONsaint]

kung ako ako pala mag-aapply medyo mahihirapan ako... kasi I don't have a US visa... pero mga sis, around how much kaya ang pera sa bangko para masabing hindi ako mag-tnt sa Europe, para ma-aapprove yung visa ko?

and may question din ako regarding sa entry/exit country... kunwari ang entry point ko is Madrid, pwede na ba akong bumalik sa Manila from Rome or kelangan Madrid pa rin ako aalis pauwi?

thank you po... =)

Appying for a shengen visa is i think difficult. I am currently in Germany and I must admin although I had a shengen visa 4 years ago, they would still interview like hell..

We also consulted an embassy officer in Manila and in berlin and they also confirmed that before they were some kind of relax with issuing visa but after some time that  a lot dont come back anymore, now they are strict na. and they dont renew visa..

Good luck!

question po.. pag meron kang UK visa. mas malaki ba chance ma approve ka schengen visa? and how many days yun processing ng visa? and how much?

[alexandrea]

^ I have the same question. Pag may UK visa na ba, mas madali nang makapag apply ng Schengen visa?

Madali lang talaga mag-apply ng Schengen Visa, kahit nga ako na walang iba pang visa, how much more kayo may UK Visa na.

i applied for shengen visa and was denied a month ago but i have uk visa and cosmos guaranteed pa that i will be joining the tour and yet they did not grant me shengen visa grrr..

If you have a letter of invitation, mas madali ang kumuha ng visa. They don't even ask how much you have in the bank or how many properties you have. Kasi the embassy officers will base their decision on the salary of the person inviting you. Only thing they will ask upon entry (in a european country) is your pocket money. Mura lang naman eh. Minimum of 300 euro's lang yata.

my bf always gets his schengen visa from singapore. instead na maghintay sila ng weeks, pinapadala sila ng office nila sa singapore kasi 2-hour processing lang dun. =)

[babaengmahiwaga]

^^^Saang embassy ka ba nag-apply, sis?

[michai]

went to europe with my parents and sister on 2005 and am planning to do so by my own again this 2008. we got our visas from the dutch embassy (yun k'se ang entry point namin although we did spend most of our days in italy). it was quite easy then. wala na ngang interview na ginawa. sinubmit lang namin yung documents. this time, i'm planning to spend more of my time in italy and/or paris.

was wondering if it is quite easier to apply sa embassy nang france or italy compared to the dutch embassy. thanks!

[crazee_crazee]

^ I heard the Italian embassy is really strict but since you were already able to get a Schengen visa before, it should be easier this time around?

[maribeth]

My sister will be applying hers from the dutch embassy. She is planning to come here by April/May for 7 weeks.

sis i haven't tried applying for my schengen visa at the dutch embassy but I found it easy applying at the Spanish and French embassies.  We didn't even have to make a personal appearance at the Spanish embassy.

[lesters_gal]

^^sis kailangan may bank statement,bank certificate ka,letter of invitation,travel insurance tapos mas maganda kung may work siya dito and ok yung salary niya kasi para maniwala sila na babalik siya dito sa PH..

[mama squeak!]

Never had a problem applying for one at the Austrian embassy. All I presented was a letter from my hubby's company stating that they are sponsoring him for a training in Vienna, travel insurance (they're so big on this), flight booking information and my passport. They didn't even ask me any questions, just told me to come back at so and so date.
