What do I need for the Schengen visa?


In general, to apply for a Schengen visa, you will need the following:

l   A signed and completed Schengen visa application form;
l   Your passport (original + copy);
l   1 passport sized photograph;
l   Payment of the visa application fee;
l   Evidence of transport and accommodation bookings;
l   Evidence of financial funds;
l   Evidence of travel insurance;
l   Travel itinerary;
l   Other supporting evidence depending on the applicant, country of application and Schengen country applied for (e.g. letter from employers, school, proof of status, etc.) 

Depending on the Embassy of the Schengen country you are applying for, you will need to submit the application either in person, online or by post.  The most common form of applying is submission of application in person.

    We have a medical & repatriation limit of £2,000,000 - better than the €30.000 limit required for Schengen travel. Any questions feel free to enquire.
