European tours

san ba mas mabilis at easier yung nag-approve ng shengen visa? netherlands or france?

you have to get your shengen visa from the embassy of the country you will first visit or enter (port of entry) ...

^^Check this message I posted earlier under Schengen Visa application:

For European Tours it is best to visit Rome Italy.. I recently have been there and I must say it's one of the best and historical country I ever been..

^^Pare-pareho lang naman siguro silang lahat. As long as you meet all the requirements there is no reason na made-deny ka. I've applied both sa Austrian and French embassy and I didn't encounter any problems.

1 schengen

i agree with sis mamasqueek, halos pare-pareho rin talaga silang lahat. i was able to get shengen visas from the german, french, and spanish embassies before - requirements lang talaga tinitingnan nila. Even UK and Swiss embassies, madali rin. I just remembered that for the two times I applied for a British tourist Visa, both required an interview talaga. But requirements din ang tiningnan and a few basic questions. Among all the shengen visas I got, I remembered that only the German embassy required an interview, yung iba no need na.

eto isa pang Q. if somebody is funding the tour, like a family member. gift kasi samin ni bf. that family member will present his bank account etc along with our application?

[maribeth]

^sis, saan ang location ng family-member mo? Sa pilipinas ba or abroad?

[badmonkey]

Haaaay! I'm trying to browse for cheap fares sa internet. Ang bilis mawala nung mga nakita kong cheap fares before to Finland. I am coming from middle east and ang nakita kong cheapest ay from KLM and Swiss Airlines.

Question, if hindi ko ba magamit ang visa ko, me possibility ba na madeny na ako sa next visa application?

Sa mahal kasi ng ticket parang fare+baon ko na to Pinas tapos nasa 4days lang ako stay dun.

Magka-canvass naman ako bukas sa travel agency.

sis maribeth. dito eh =)

[mama squeak!]

^^Hindi naman siguro as long as you have all the requirements. But still be ready with an answer when they ask you why you weren't able to use your visa the first time. Sa totoo lang kumikita pa nga sila sa visa since gamitin mo at hindi bayad na yun.

Thanks mama squeak!

sis vhanya, di ba pwedeng ilagay ng sponsor niyo ang money sa account niyo? Mukhang less ang hassle pag gano'n e. Kasi may chance na hindi maniwala sa embassy na iyong relative mo ang magbabayad pag wala pa ang money sa acccount niyo.

sis badmonkey, kung gusto mo ng cheaper ticket, you have to book your flight 6 months before departure. Pwede naman yata iyon e, hindi ba? Kasi ang pag issue naman nila ng visa, tinitingnan naman yata ang booking mo ng flight e...

[vhanya]

^yun na nga lang gagawin namin sis maribeth =) gagawin na lang double the expenses and pocket money para mabilis ma-aaprove =)

[maribeth]

^sige sis vhanya, goodluck!!! If you get the chance to pass by amsterdam, let me know.

[vhanya]

thanks sis! =) we will definitely pass by amsterdam. bale 13 countries iikutin namin =)

[maribeth]

Wow...talagang lulubusin mo ang bakasyon ha...ilang weeks ba kayo dito sa europe? Sige, I'll wait for your message kung kailan ka makakadaan...hope magkita tayo..

[vhanya]

1 month kami jan sis =)

[mama squeak!]

^Wow exciting! Wish hubby and I have that long to tour Europe kaya lang max 3 weeks lang kami pag leisure trip because of hubby's work.

Right now I'm making travel plans for our next trip in September 2010. We'll probably be doing maximum three countries only para relax lang talaga and more time to get to know the locals.
