A family of three wants to travel to Europe. Is it easy to get a visa?

At present, China people can only travel with a group when they travel to Europe, and their personal freedom has not been liberalized in principle. The key is to know how to apply for a visa.

At present, the visa materials needed for traveling to Europe can be summarized into ten items:

1, a short-term visa application form (some need to fill in two, but the content is basically the same)/two two-inch color light-colored photos.

2. Passport and passport copy.

There is no need to pay the order fee for the round-trip ticket order issued by the airline, and we will talk about it after the visa comes down.

4. The housing and reception certificate for staying in Schengen District can be the housing guarantee provided by the inviter or the hotel accommodation reservation. Some hotels need to pay a deposit in advance (this deposit is non-refundable), but the amount is not very large.

5. The economic guarantee can be the economic guarantee of the inviter from abroad, and it can also be your own deposit certificate or property certificate. This is the most important thing. The more expensive the certificate you provide, the more property you have, and the more likely your visa will be passed. )

6. For accident insurance and medical insurance with an insured amount of not less than 300,000 yuan during travel in Europe, some insurance companies are allowed to surrender their insurance with their passports in case of refusal.

7. Original and photocopy of the household registration book.

8. Work unit certificate, indicating your name, work income, leave permission and time limit. The certificate requires the company's address, contact number and official seal, and also requires the person who issued the certificate to sign and indicate his position.

9. ID card and photocopy.

10. The translation of all the above Chinese materials shall be completed and sealed by a recognized professional translation company.

It should be noted that even if you provide complete application materials, you may not get a visa. In order to increase the success rate of visa, you can provide as many effective materials as possible on the property certificate to show that you have enough economic strength to go to Europe alone.

For example, provide your driver's license and vehicle license in your name, and provide as many bank deposit certificates as possible (at least some bank deposits need to be frozen, starting from 50,000 yuan, and the more you freeze, the more convincing it is, depending on your personal situation). If you can provide proof that you have real estate in your name, it will also be of great help to the successful application for a visa.

Different countries have different difficulties in applying for visas according to their respective policies. According to my experience, countries leaving the country are classified according to the difficulty of visas, which is a difficult task: these countries not only provide complicated information, but also need to pass the numerous tests of visa officers. The representative countries are Britain, Switzerland, France, Germany and Spain, which have joined the Schengen Treaty. For example, to apply for a visa, European countries need to prepare a lot of materials, besides passports, household registration books, certificates of deposits, certificates of work units, and sometimes interviews are needed. However, you have prepared so many materials, you must be true, and don't lie during the interview, otherwise the loss will outweigh the gain. Especially in visa offices in many European countries, information has been networked. If you have a bad record, it will be very difficult to sign other countries in the future.
