How to apply for a Schengen visa when studying in the UK?

Students studying in the UK may seize this rare opportunity to take a walk in Europe, because it is so convenient to go to European countries from the UK. So how to apply for a Schengen visa when studying in the UK? Let's take a look.

A. Booking websites

De Qian: The certificate issued by an intermediary website like hostelworld.com is useless. The strategy I choose is to book on these websites and then send an email to the hotel for confirmation. Some hotels are inefficient, so they send more emails to remind them (I felt like a match of AIESEC at that time, I kept sending emails to remind them, and if it really didn't work, I called or canceled my reservation to find another place to stay). It is important to indicate your name, hotel address and telephone number when confirming, which are all missing. If you book a double room, and the person who booked it is not your name, you need to write a letter from the person who booked it, stating that he booked it with you. It's really troublesome. ....

Booking.com's free reservation was cancelled. If there is no specific itinerary, you can choose this one and cancel it after the visa comes down. However, it is said on the internet that some staff members have nothing to do after eating, and they will call afterwards and find that you have not been blacklisted for a year. So you should be careful when signing the law (I also think it is cheap), but I haven't heard of such things as German signing and western signing ... Let's weigh it ourselves. There is also a hotel chain called Ibis, which is found in almost every country. You order directly on his website, and he directly issues a certificate and cancels it for free. I recommend it to everyone.

6. Do you have enough funds to support your proof during your stay, such as the latest bank statement or travel certificate? Check. Please note that cash is not an acceptable proof.

I haven't used traveler's checks, and the specific operation is not clear (I am a finance major-). If the bank proves it, TSB can type directly in the online bank and get the bank seal. Natwest is more troublesome. It's just a piece of paper issued by the bank. It doesn't look very formal. It's best to print a proof of your money from online banking. Barclays seems to do the same, giving it once every three months. ...

how much is it? 50 Jin a day is enough. There is nothing wrong with saving a little more. There is no time limit, just three months.

7. Occupation/student identification, that is, a recent letter from your employer/school/university.

The school has this kind of special office, just go there and open it.

8. Transport certificate

These three countries have obviously different requirements.

Germany doesn't need to provide tickets, it's the easiest.

France can provide round-trip air tickets and air tickets to France. The most important thing is that your name is on it.

Spain requires all tickets for the whole journey, which is terrible, but there is no way. That's what everyone asks. You have to provide all air tickets and plane tickets from one country to another, you are indispensable ... otherwise, you are not allowed to hand over the materials.

These are materials. Remember to prepare copies.

C. Delivery of materials

The signing law stipulates that you can't go in until you arrive, so it is very efficient to follow the point.

Deqian means that as long as you book on the same day, although you have time when you book, you will get in early.

It also stipulates when the western visa will arrive. I don't know when it will be finished, because it is a special visa center where several countries are together, and the efficiency can be imagined. Anyway, my classmate waited for two hours before it was his turn to send it. ....

After handing over the materials, wait with peace of mind. We usually get the results in two or three days. Soon, the signing of the western region may be delayed a little, and the result will be available in a week at the latest.

D. summary

Germany sign is recommended, with high efficiency and less material preparation. The second one is French symbol, and the last one is western symbol.

But it depends on your travel plan, because only the country you signed is the country where you stayed the longest, which can be reflected in your hotel and air ticket.

To sum up, the correct proof of money, accommodation and transportation is basically no problem.

Good luck.

Page (the abbreviation of page) S complements the sign of tourists. Other visitor visas in Germany are the same as tourist visas, except that the hotel certificate is replaced with a copy of your friend's passport and an invitation letter. The passport copy needs the first page and the last page, the German visa page and the permanent residence page, and the invitation letter needs to be signed personally!

French visa requires your friend to go to the police station to issue a certificate, and you need 45 euros plus an invitation letter to replace the hotel certificate!
