What are the Schengen Visa application costs and does age matter? Visa…

Not all European Union countries are part of the Schengen zone and not all Schengen states are part of the European Union.

This is an important fact to know because you will have different visa application procedures for each.

What do you need to keep in mind when you collect your documents before applying for the Schengen Visa?

Keep in mind to save copies of all your documents when applying for a Schengen Visa. The reason why you need to make copies for yourself is that the embassy won’t return any of the documents except your passport.

What is a Tourist Schengen Visa and how long is it valid for?

You can get a Tourist Schengen Visa if you are from any of the Schengen states and enter the Schengen Area for a maximum period of 90 days within a 6-month period. This kind of visa allows you to travel and visit Europe for pleasure.

If you get rejected and think that you have gathered the right documents for your visa application and the embassy’s decision is incorrect. 

The right decision for you to take is write an appeal letter to the embassy. In this letter you have to state your personal details, the date your application got denied, the reason why you believe this decision is incorrect and don’t forget to make strong points or else they won’t reconsider your application.
