Where should I go to study abroad and travel to Europe? How can I get a Schengen visa?

99% of tourist visas have to be interviewed. Even if you can't speak English, don't be afraid. Anyway, most of them are asked in Chinese.

First of all, you have to plan which Schengen countries you are going to. Personal experience, the best countries to sign are Italy and Germany. Because these two countries want foreigners to go in and stimulate the economy, there is not much to be translated in the document. And those interviewers are very polite, especially in Italy. If you want to sign these two countries, in the travel itinerary, you should indicate that the person who has stayed in these two places for the longest time can apply.

Basic documents can be provided according to the requirements on the list.

At present, Schengen countries are relatively clear about the countries where individuals can apply for tourist visas: Germany and France.

Personally, if you want to travel to Schengen, both countries can apply. The key is that the application materials are well prepared, often not simply according to the visa list, but also other relevant instructions.

Professional visa training is very important because Schengen individual tourist visas need to be signed in person. Generally speaking, this kind of visa training enables applicants to understand, relax and confidently answer interview questions before formally facing visa officers (or embassy and consulate staff). This process is more critical.

Skills and attention to detail

1. With so much information, key information can be clearly marked, such as name, salary, month, hotel, date, round-trip date of air ticket, etc. Win the good mood of embassy staff with a pen.

2. The materials should be sorted out, because many originals will be shown to them, and the embassy staff will receive them smoothly and will give you extra points.

Everyone likes to say nice things, and visa officers are human, so don't be nervous. It would be better to be friendly to them.

-Insurance, be sure to write the country and region in Schengen or Europe.

-Copies, which must be made in advance. There are many big brothers and sisters outside the visa center to make a fortune. They often make two copies, 60, 80 yuan.

The photo should show your ears.

-Some embassies require relatives to notarize things (such as parents taking care of their children). It should be noted that the translation of the notary office must be checked. They often make mistakes, such as writing the date and name wrong.

Problems encountered in handover and face signing

Will you get a call from the embassy after signing?

A: It depends on the embassy. There is no routine. It is possible to call yourself directly and ask some simple questions (the purpose is to know if you know the itinerary, because someone wants to immigrate illegally, and everything on the itinerary is scrawled, so once asked, it is impossible to match), it is possible to call a colleague just to confirm whether you are there, or it is possible to ask the company directly, 1 14, and then try to call.

Do I need to speak English for an interview or a phone call?

A: The embassy staff will ask if you can speak English. If your English is good, drag it with him. If your English is average, say it. You can ask some simple questions in English (yes or no). Visa officers spend most of their time reading the materials during the face-to-face interview. If you don't have enough confidence in English, it will be just so-so. Tell him it's better to say it in Chinese. . Or if you can't speak English, use Chinese. It doesn't matter.

What questions will you ask in person or by phone?

A: Just because of people. If the materials are good, you will generally be asked questions related to this trip, such as why you want to go to the visa country, where to go, how long to go, and how to arrange your itinerary.

If the materials are average, such as white books, the income is average. It is estimated that you will be asked what you do, how long you have been doing it, how much your monthly income is, what the company does, whether you can speak English (to tell the truth in English), what is the company address and telephone number. In fact, it is to judge whether you are lying, so just tell the truth honestly. (Again, you need real materials, because the visa officer may know your occupation carefully. For example, a netizen who is engaged in fashion design will let her draw two pictures on the spot. )

If you are visiting relatives and friends, you will ask each other's information by the way. For example, if you are a boyfriend, you will ask how old your boyfriend is and when is his birthday. If there is a group photo, I will also bring one. In fact, the most important thing is to tell the truth. Everything happens for a reason, and what you say will be done. The visa officer just asked a few questions. If there is a logical mistake, you should be careful. If it's true, it's easy to be misunderstood, so don't mention it. If you mention it, you should make it clear to others. We should try our best to misunderstand ourselves.

How long does it usually take to get a visa after signing?

A: Depending on whether it is the peak season, they also have some hand problems, usually five working days, some as short as three days and as long as 10 working days. Individual countries even have 20-30 days. So you can apply as early as possible (you can apply 3 months in advance at the earliest)

Possible problems after getting a visa

Can I enter from other countries first when I get a French visa?

A: With a visa, you can enter and leave Schengen countries at will without having to enter the visa country first.

Note 1. Which Schengen countries are covered by the Schengen visa?

(France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Denmark), Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta. Countries in brackets can apply for individual tourist visas. After getting a visa, you can enter any of the Schengen countries mentioned above (for example, you can apply for a German visa and then fly directly to the Netherlands).

Britain, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ireland and Romania are still not members of Schengen, but Britain has opened up applications for individual tourist visas.

2. What is the application procedure for Schengen individual tourist visa?

Step 1: Select the applicant country. Suppose you travel in France for 5 days, Switzerland for 2 days and Germany for 4 days, then you must choose France to apply for a personal tourist visa (choose the country with the most days of stay), and Germany will not accept it. If you stay in the same country for the same number of days, choose the country that entered the country first to apply. For example: 6 days in Italy, 6 days in Switzerland, and entry from Rome, Italy, then you must apply for an Italian personal tourist visa.

Step 2: Go to the website of the national embassy or consulate/visa center to find out the information needed to apply for a visa.

Step 3: Prepare materials, make the travel itinerary for visa delivery, book hotels (you can choose from the hotels recommended by the reservation center, and pay attention to those hotels that can be booked free of charge to prevent economic losses caused by visa refusal), air tickets (visa requires booking round-trip air tickets-you can call any air ticket sales agency and ask them to place an order according to your travel time and fax it. You really don't need to buy a plane ticket in advance. ) and insurance (you can choose the insurance that refuses to sign a refund).

Step 4: Go to the visa center to submit the materials and make an appointment for face-to-face signing or make an appointment for the embassy to submit the materials and face-to-face signing.

3. Which countries have higher Schengen visa pass rate or which countries have easier Schengen visas?

A: In theory, there is no question of which country has a high or low visa pass rate, nor will it be said that a country is easy. The key depends on your own preparation. However, most travelers sign in France, Germany and Italy, among which France may have a strange refusal because of too many applicants. As long as the materials are reasonable, the second sign can pass.

4. How can we make the pass rate of visa application higher?

A: The key to a successful visa is to convince the embassy VO that you will definitely not stay illegally and will definitely return to China. In fact, all the information prepared is to prove this point, so be sure to know what you want to achieve and prepare all the visa information around this purpose. For example, why don't you say that there are too many real estate licenses, because the more real estate you own, it is equivalent to hinting to the embassy: I have a house and a field in China, and I don't want to go to your place to wash dishes and be an illegal worker.

5. Single, white, without a house or a car, will I definitely be refused a visa?

A: Singles, especially single MM, may indeed be better prepared than others, but they will never be refused a visa. Many such cases can be seen in the collection area of traveler visa raiders. Even if you are single and have never even worked, you can still get a visa. The key is to be fully prepared! Let the embassy VO believe that you will definitely not stay illegally and will definitely return to China! Anyway, if you want a visa, give me a reason first! Hmm. How interesting

6. If I am rejected, can I apply again? Is there a time limit for applying for a visa again?

A: You can reapply if you refuse a visa. Theoretically, there is no time limit. You can apply again immediately. However, our suggestion is that we should first analyze and find out the possible reasons for refusing the visa, because if the information submitted when applying again is exactly the same as last time, the chances of success may be very small unless it is the fault of the other party.

7. Do I have to book air tickets and hotels before applying for a visa? If the visa is refused, what about the loss of air tickets and hotels?

A: You just need to book a plane ticket before applying. You really don't need to buy a ticket. Many air ticket agents/airlines can issue free air tickets and ask more questions. Then wait until you get a visa before booking a plane ticket. Hotel orders can also be made on networks that do not charge booking and cancellation fees, such as the hotel reservation page of the website. Select accommodation/reservation/hour. These three booking networks cover hundreds of thousands of high, middle and low-end hotels around the world. Book and cancel the hotel for free, just print out the order sent to your mailbox.

8. Do I need to submit transportation reservation information in Europe to apply for a visa?

A: To apply for a visa, you don't need to provide your transportation reservation information within Europe (such as Eurorail and low-cost airlines). You can make a reservation after you get the visa.

9. Do I have to translate all the visa application documents? If you want to translate, do you need to find a translation company or can you translate it yourself?

A: All materials required by the embassy to be translated need to be translated into foreign languages (English or the language of the country applying for a visa). These materials can be translated by themselves and then printed out. However, if the foreign language is not professional enough, it is easy to find the relevant personnel of the travel agency to translate, so as not to cause trouble.

How much is the deposit suitable? Do you want to freeze? When can it be thawed if it is frozen? The problem of bank card evasion.

A: Most people have a deposit period of more than 3 months, and the amount is 50,000+(at least not less than 30,000). It is best to freeze, and there must be a fixed period if it is not frozen. If it is frozen, it will be frozen until the date of returning from the tour plus one month! You can unfreeze it as soon as you get the visa! The bank's running list can only be provided for six months, mainly to show that the income is stable, so don't just suddenly deposit a sum of money.

Is there a charge for booking air tickets?

A: Some companies will take you to 50 yuan, but many agents and even airlines are free of charge (for example, if you book with Air France in official website, just choose to pay for it). This order will expire in a short time, 1-3 days, so you can book and print the materials one day before submission.

There is no original in the document. Is it okay to use a copy?

A: It is best to use the original when making an appointment for an interview or during an interview. Many materials must be original, but some are not. For example, if the real estate license is mortgaged to the bank, you only need to take a copy and a copy of the bank mortgage contract.

If you have an old passport, do you need to provide it?

A: Yes, including the originals and photocopies of all visas and entry and exit records (the entry and exit records of Xinmatai do not need to be copied).

Do you want to go to Xinmatai to paint white first?

A: No need, it's useless. France and other countries only accept copies of passports and visas from developed countries ... Singapore and Mattel don't want them at all. Spending money for nothing is not a reduction factor. Please relax.

What if students have no income?

A: Just ask your father or mother to issue a deposit certificate and write a note to prove that they are willing to fund you to go abroad. Work proves that those also need parents to open.

How do freelancers issue work certificates?

Answer: Provide information about your related work, such as opening a shop in Taobao, providing website information, online shop information, etc. For example, if you are a freelance writer, you can ask magazines and publishing houses to give you a certificate. In short, all the information that can prove that you are engaged in the job should be provided as much as possible.

Is it completely impossible to have no car or house?

A: Of course not! ! As long as the income is relatively stable and the deposit is sufficient, you can still get a visa.

What should the unit certificate have?

Answer: position, monthly income, resignation date (only later than visa application date), contact person of the company, telephone number, address and so on. There is a three-in-one template for on-the-job, income and vacation! The certificate should be printed on the company letterhead and then stamped. Foreign companies generally have their own templates, state-owned enterprises and government agencies. You can only prepare an English one yourself, and then let the unit stamp it. If the unit that encounters the dead card only stamps the Chinese content, it will be translated into English and printed in white paper.

What should I do if the company does not give the business license or organization code or the legal person certificate of the institution?

A: It's best to ask the unit to give an explanation document, saying that it is stipulated by the unit that such information cannot be provided to individuals. I hope the embassy can understand it. The name of the material is different from the name of the passport, is that ok?

A: Absolutely not. These materials will not pass the examination.

What is the most important thing in visa preparation?

Answer: 1. Prepare materials carefully, strictly and meticulously.

2. Use as many materials as possible to prove that you have enough financial resources and a stable job and salary in China (that is, to prove that those who have a family business in China will not immigrate illegally ...)
