wow congrats! How's the requirements sa France and may interview or none? I got mine before sa Spain embassy and it took 10 days.

We're applying as a family via French Embassy. My hubby runs a business, I am a homemaker and my daughter is a graduating college student. Our savings bank account is under our names, all three of us. Would this suffice or hubby still needs to provide a letter of financial support for me and my daughter? Thank you!

^^No interview na sis. just the usual requirements lang sinubmit namin like business permit, bank certificate itinerary, and yun mga tickets na nabook namin.

^sis you can just indicate sa cover letter na you own a family business and husband will be sponsoring the entire vacation. just submit it together with your business documents and financial documents (ie bank certificate).

^ It's good to know sis. Thanks for replying!

Was denied a visa by the French embassy. I have enough savings, valid US and SK visas, and have a startup business here. They asked for a letter of explanation "why husband is not joining the trip". I told them we are separated. And baaam... got the passport with the denial letter. This is supposedly a trip with my girl friends...

hi
we have an appointment on june 14 sa france embassy kami nag apply.
this will be our 3rd schengen visa na hopefully ma grant.
my question,we forgot na we are flying to singapore pala on june 24.
do we need to mention it sa cover letter namin? or you think kaya naman ma process visa namin before june 24? thank u in advance....

Best to mention it in the cover letter. May mga nakaka-experience na mabilis makuha pero to be safe, mention it...

What are the chances of getting a ME visa w/ 2-3years validity? I was issued a 30days & 45 days already, tho usually stay ng less than 10 days

My family recently got our approved visas from the French Embassy. We are staying for 18 days, itinerary divided between Paris and cities in Italy. While double checking our itinerary, it would come out 10 days in Italy since our last day in Paris will also be our arrival in Milan. We were supposed to take the Thello night train but crossed the idea upon reading horrible reviews. Would this be a problem especially on our second visa application?

Planning to submit my 3rd schengen visa with VIA next month. Any experience with VIA when lodging your application? since wala syang appointment, curious ako kung gano katagal ang process.  Less than 20mins lang ako naprocess with UK visa last week.

Hello,

Ano ba ang usual requirements for Schengen Visa, baka France ang entry namin. Also, if plan namin last week of October ang alis, yung start date ng visa will start naman siguro on the date prior we leave no? Hindi naman agad-agad?

Thanks!

You need hotel booking as part of the requirement. The usual business certificates, bank certificates.  Waiting for our approval in the belgium embassy.  This would be our 2nd schengen application.

Hi, ladies. I?m working on my family?s visa (all 5 of us) through the French Embassy. We intend to leave for Paris on December 26. Kaya pa ba? Should I get plane tix now before the visa? My family has US, Australian, Japan, SoKor visas na.
