Documents for a Schengen visa

In order to obtain permission to enter European countries, you must first prepare visa documents. Please note that your attentiveness at this stage will affect the result of the entire work. A Schengen visa is issued upon submission of certain documents. The visa officer who will consider your candidacy at the embassy must be confident that you will return home, and not that you will join the army of illegals abroad. Due to this, the documentation is divided into personal and warranty.

Personal documentation includes:

• Citizen passport with copies of all pages, with their translation into English;
• A foreign passport valid for three to six months after the end of the trip, with copies of all pages;
• Photos (1-4 pieces);
• The questionnaire is submitted in 2 copies, one of them is in English.

The warranty documentation includes:

• Certificate from the place of work, where the position, salary, length of employment, company profile data are indicated (address, telephone, e-mail, etc. are indicated). Sometimes they require you to confirm that you will have a job for the duration of your trip, as well as provide a copy of your employment book;
• Availability of a return ticket;
• Availability of medical insurance;
• Confirmation of financial security. Provide a certificate from the bank about the availability of certain funds in the account; documents confirming ownership of real estate;
• Hotel reservation;
• Invitation, if the trip is guest or business.

Some categories of citizens will need to submit additional documentation to obtain a Schengen visa:

• Entrepreneurs - a copy of the state registration of the enterprise, a certificate of income;
• Pensioners or disabled persons - pension certificate or certificate of disability, certificate of pension (poslednie six months);
• For students - a certificate from the place of study, a copy of the student card, a certificate from the place of work of one parent (last six months). When a student plans a trip during the academic year, a permit for absence from the educational institution will also be required;
• Students - certificate from the place of study, permission to be absent from the educational institution (if necessary), copies of all pages of parents' passports (citizens), insurance policy, documents confirming the purpose of the trip, statement of who finances the train - parents or other persons.

When making a trip with a minor child, the list of documents required for a Schengen visa is even more extended. You will have to provide a copy of the birth certificate; civil passports of parents with copies; foreign passport of the parent with entered marks about the child; permission to leave with a notarized copy from the parent who is not accompanying the child on the trip. And when the child travels outside of Ukraine with a third party, written permission from both parents is required, where the transfer of their powers to the accompanying person is reflected; certificate of parents' income. A separate questionnaire (two copies) with his signature is drawn up for the child.
