How do American students apply for European tourist visas?

You can apply for an early root visa. The following materials are required: 1. One original passport and one copy of American visa (preferably in color). 2. Visa fee (60 euros =)85 dollars. Consular fees vary from country to country. The French consulate only accepts cash and Visa/Master credit cards. 3. Application form. English is also acceptable. Just attach a photo, don't wear it! If you don't, I don't understand. You must ask the consulate. 4. A photo. See attached table. Ask for photos on the website of your consulate. Just cut the French photo with a two-inch photo, and the size requirement is not strict. 5. The following three are the same: American green card; American visa I-94; American visa I-20. Make a copy of everything. Tax bill or I-20 with two-month work certificate. 6. Proof of deposit and credit card bill. Proof of deposit is very important. Any direct selling bank can open an account on the spot. You don't need to apply for so many deposits when you are not in China. Personally, I suggest more than $200/day. 7. Some consulates (not needed in France) will ask SSN. Remember to bring your SSN card. 8. Travel itinerary (including booking air tickets to and from Europe). 9.insurance. Just leave the date in the Schengen countries. Pay attention to the minimum living allowance of 50 thousand yuan. Preparation before application: confirm the itinerary. The official consulate advises you to buy a scheduled round-trip ticket to Europe. Many websites can do it, such as Ctrip. It is suggested that if the application materials are not damaged, you can consider paying a cheap air ticket first and then getting a visa. Because the application rate in the United States is really high. Of course, this is my personal suggestion. If you are afraid of risks, please don't pay. If you are staying in a hotel, you need a confirmation form. Many hotels in Booking.com can cancel their reservations for free, which is worth recommending. Because it is possible to change the itinerary. Many consulates in Europe do not need to provide any transportation services. The French consulate made it clear that it was not needed. Consult the consulate for specific application. Draw a travel route. It is suggested to use excel to do it in chronological order, which is clear at a glance. Please indicate the length of your stay in each country. Prepare the materials needed by the consulate (see the next section). Making an appointment for a consular interview can also be put in the first step, because there are indeed some consulates that are extremely inefficient. In order to avoid the embarrassment of not being able to make an appointment, first contact the consulate to confirm their efficiency, and then consider whether you should apply for a visa for this country. Book transportation and accommodation hotels to and from the consulate city. Just arrive on time or earlier. There is absolutely no need to arrive too early. Waiting for your passport and visa. Note when applying: According to the regulations, there are two countries to apply: the country that has applied for the longest stay. For example, entry to Spain, Spain 2 days, France 5 days, Germany 4 days, Switzerland 2 days = French visa. If the stay in each country is the same, apply for the first entry country. For example, entry to Spain, 3 days in Spain, 3 days in France, 3 days in Germany and 3 days in Switzerland = Spanish visa. Note: If you travel by cruise, you need to apply for a visa from the country where the cruise originated. For example, one day in Spain, one day in the Netherlands, and six days on a cruise from Amsterdam to Norway = Dutch visa. But the cruise is only a small part of the trip, so the first and second rules must be met. For example, Spain's entry, Spain's 2 days, France's 5 days, Germany's 4 days, Holland's 2 days and 6 days Amsterdam to Norway cruise = French visa. If you don't know the main destination country of your trip, please contact the relevant consulate in advance! Personal suggestion: when determining the itinerary, try to apply for consulates of big countries, such as Germany, France, Spain and Italy. Because there are many visa applicants from big countries, the efficiency is relatively high. The Spanish consulate in Houston didn't miss any phone calls or emails, so you don't have to download the form or make an appointment. Please don't apply for this consulate. All reservations made by the French Consulate in the United States are made online. Generally, you can receive your passport the next day after face-to-face signing, which is efficient and recommended. The German consulate is also very efficient, answering emails on the same day. Recommended.
