Self-submission of documents for a visa

It is quite realistic to do it, but it is troublesome. It will be necessary to spend a lot of personal time, it is necessary to know the requirements for the preparation of documentation, there should be no problematic moments in the biography. And in case of refusal, re-applying almost always gives a negative result. If you have decided to submit visa documentation yourself, read the following.

Schengen visas are issued by employees of the consular department of the embassy or consulate. It is necessary to determine the state, the embassy of which you will go to draw up the documents. The visa must be issued by the consulate of the country where you intend to stay for the longest period of time. Each embassy sets its own rules and requirements for submitting documentation for visas. Therefore, before making an appointment, find out all the required information.

Carefully study the requirements of the embassy, fulfill them responsibly. The probability of issuing you a visa depends on this. Making a decision, all embassies are interested:

• the applicant is exactly who he claims to be; does the declared purpose of the trip coincide with the true one;
• Will the applicant return to Ukraine (need to confirm);
• Does the applicant have sufficient funds to stay in the state of the Schengen zone.

The main purpose of such checks is to exclude criminals, illegal immigrants, etc.

The exact list of required documentation is different in different embassies, however, it is necessary to submit documents everywhere:

• personal identification: foreign passport, national passport, application form, two photos of a passport sample;
• guaranteeing return: return ticket, work certificate, etc.
• confirming your financial standing: paid round-trip tickets, confirmation of the booked hotel, bank statements;
• confirming the purpose of the trip: invitations of relatives, tourist route plan, etc.
• medical insurance.

Documentation for a visa is submitted no earlier than three months before the trip, but no later than two weeks. In some embassies it is possible to submit an application via the Internet, in others only personal submission is allowed.

Even if you know the process of applying for a Schengen visa, you may not be able to protect yourself from the negative decision of the consulate. First of all, the consulate will pay attention to the documents, their correctness. Without knowing the nuances, there is a significant probability that you will make an imperceptible, but fatal, mistake. A single incorrect phrase can lead to rejection. In addition, there are huge queues in embassies that can take several days.
