^Thanks mama squeak, very clear explanation and also to minnie99

is there anyone here who visited relatives in Europe and dun kayo nagstay sa bahay nila? Did you present any supporting documents to prove their citizenship or you just apply normal tourist visa?

[juwie]

^ i believe you have to show their residence permit. If sa France it's called attestation d'accueil.

Yup, hinihingi nila ang residence permit and invitation letter from that relative/friend.

[eischied_21]

Oh, need pa pala ng residence permit and invitation letter. magpabook na lang siguro ako ng acco and cancel it pag approve na visa ko. Thanks sisses!

[eischied_21]

Another question, it will be my first time to travel to Europe and plan ko is 1 month. Possible ba na mabibigyan ako ng visa good for 1 month kahit first time traveller sa Europe? If not I can shrink down my travel to 2-3 weeks only. I had previous visas na to Australia, Japan and China and some stamps on my passport to SEA countries. TIA

Hi! We have the same case as I also have an aunt but I don't want to bother her with the documents.  Have you already applied? May I know what purpose did you choose? Thanks a lot!

[eischied_21]

^I haven't applied yet. I'll be travelling next year pa, 2nd or 3rd quarter.

May nakapag-apply na ba sa Norway Embassy? Nabasa ko kasi na 15 days processing time, parang ang tagal kasi na nasa kanila passport.

Yung Original Letter of Parental Consent to apply for and obtain a Schengen Visa signed by both parents, kami lang pa gagawa nito?

[kachich]

^I have applied in Norway embassy. Applied Feb 25, Got the visa by March 7. This was last year.

We are scheduled for our interview sa VFS France on February.
Question:  in the Schengen Visa application form questions #28:
"Entry permit for the final country of destination, where applicable/Issued by/ Valid from ___ until___
"
We exiting in UK. We plan to apply for visa on March pa. Pano sagot sa question? Okay lang ba: "To apply for UK Visa on March 2017" ?

Salamat sa sasagot!

^^ @kachich online ka ba nag-apply or pumunta ka embassy to submit your documents. 10 days din umabot, medyo matagal nga mag-apply.

Hi All. Has anyone ever entered a Schengen country with a new Philippine passport and the Schengen visa is on an old passport?

I got my visa from VFS Norway just last month and only noticed last week that I lack ONE DAY, short of required minimum 6 months passport validity. Long story short, I'm able to secure a passport appointment tomorrow and can get a new passport before my travel date. Will I have any problems entering Schengen (in may case, entry is Frankfurt), given that my passport number is indicated on my visa? Help!!! Thanks!!

Question again: To groups who applied for Schengen visas: If one person will finance your trip, kelangan ba ng multiple originals ng bank certification?

So say if 2 pax will be the trip financers, dapat meron each applicant ng 2 sets ng bank certifications. Kasi 6 kami travelling, eh Php 600 din yung kapag nag-request ng 6 copies ng bank certifications.  So if 2 yung funders, makaka Php 1,200 kami for bank cert...

We already prepared copies of accommodation, flights, itinerary. Eh libre lang naman mag-print nun. hehe.

I applied via VFS Norway about a month ago. 5 working days lang for me. But my travel is going to Iceland (not sure if this is relevant :-) )

[michi247]

^ thanks! may hinihintay pa kasi ko na papers kaya di kami makapag-apply. Sana dumating agad ng makapag-apply and I hope 5 days lang din processing sa min. Di tuloy kami umaabot sa sale ng mga airlines.

[mrs. sweet]

^^Same requirements lang ba sa VFS Norway as other Shengens? Planning an Iceland trip din on September.

[zherealle]

^^ I think almost same lang mga requirements nia. I applied at VFS Norway (Iceland is my main destination) last Jan. 17. I received a text and email that my visa is approved by  Jan. 19.

Question mga sis.

My sister is applying for a Schengen visa from the French Embassy.  Dito siya manggagaling sa Dublin papunta Paris. We will fly to Paris. Nakalagay kasi sa requirements flight reservation , may isang airline they can hold flight for 24 hours lang, so I thought what's the point of a flight reservation na 24 hours kung ang processing ng visa is say minimum 3 days.  I am thinking of booking na her flights pero nanghihinayang lang ako kung hindi maa-approve.   

Sa VFS ba pag kulang ang documents, pwedeng ibalik na lang? Inisip ko i-submit nya is itinerary lang from the airline. Pag hiningan siya ng flight booking then I will book her a ticket.

I've backread pero wala akong nakita na answer.  Madami naka-book na ng ticket.

Salamat!

Hello. Me and my husband are planning for an EU Trip sana this year for our 10th year anniversary. Kaso we both don't have an ITR. Possible kaya na maapprove kami? We do have more than enough naman for the savings kaso yung ITR lang talaga yung medyo may prob.

[michi247]

^^ I think almost same lang mga requirements nia. I applied at VFS Norway (Iceland is my main destination) last Jan. 17. I received a text and email that my visa is approved by  Jan. 19.

Thanks, sana ganyan kabilis din sa min. Late na yung apointment namin kasi hindi daw pwede hindi iwan passport, e may biyahe asawa ko so pagbalik na lang daw.

Anyway, bukod sa receipt and cover letter, iprint din ba yung application form and summary? o kahit wag na since meron na sa online?
