This is the most insightful tip on the Schengen Visa Application I have come across, far better than the many videos filled with unnecessary introductions and drama. Emphasize the importance and relevance of travel insurance to your future travel plans in your cover letter to strengthen your application for a multiple-entry visa or a visa with a longer duration or validity.
Thanks Jen! Ill be submitting for my 2nd Schengen visa this coming july..didnt know that i can request longer visa duration in the cover letter for future travels.. great idea.. haha..thank you so much..
German Embassy in Botswana is very stingy. They only give you visa for the number of days of your trip. To you they may look generous. They don't treat people the same. The French Embassy here is more considerate.
Most important point of all is the point of having money on your own. Othrs are no problem. Even if i finance the whole trip of my Filipina friend and take care of all, she will not have a chance to get a visa, for visiting or tourist, if she has not a monthly pay slip and bank account with money from at leas thalf year each month comming in.
It’s not the money. If you are financing the whole trip and have the proof for that, then the financial capability is covered. However, your friend also needs to prove that she will leave the country accordingly. How? Certificate of Employment, payslips, owning a business or owning as asset - these could help prove that she/he will go home after. The money is not enough, she/he needs to leave the country as well.
If I live in 🇦🇺 as filipino expat, I want to travel to Italian and Paris, after completing all the requirements- when I book my appointment, I need to go to Italy embassy since I will stay here longer, even I have a Filipino ? Thank you
This was such an informative video! I was wondering if you can tell me where you booked your reservation tickets. I’m planning not to buy the actual tickets yet for my Schengen visa application. Thank you very much!
What you say in your video are fraudulent tips and can lead to visa cancellation. I do not recommend "cheating" with your documents when you apply for the visa.
Embassy into Europea is serve for citizens of other countries nation of release in their passport,, certification for birth certificate and marriage certificate in case you could not returned to your country nation..
Hi, First of all thanks for your valuable information. Could you please let me know how I will apply second time same Schengen countries. Is there any renewal process or I just apply same as like new application. Thank you
In general, embassies don’t advise buying tickets because it won’t be refunded by the embassy. If your application is declined, that money is wasted (unless you have it refundable or rebookable). They usually ask for a flight reservation or detailed travel plans.
Question -- in these long term 1 year , 2 year visas, the duration of stay is 90 days so does it mean that in these two years I can be present in schengen area only for 90 days or is it the circulatory visa that is referencing the 90/180 rule which means 90 days in the 180 days and all. Please help clarify. How to be 100% sure?
It depends, do you have single or multiple entries? The duration of stay is for every visit to Schengen area. If multiple, then every visit, you can stay for 90 days, fly out of the Schengen area, then fly in again and your duration of stay renews.
Schengen card in Europea is does not have application.. It is not job application.. Schengen card is documents who lives in Europea continent.. if you have a house there.. For foreigners who works at Europea,, is only need Passport,, and Permit to Stay which called Permesso Soggiorno,, could be given at Questura.. Workers abroad has rent house only,, if foreigners married to Europea,, they have house to live for.. And at Cityhall they would give you a Carta Identita.. For person who drives,, would study again driving lesson to have drivers license,, drivers license from other countries nation is not valid..
Has anyone applied to Spain? On South African passport? Officially seems to be 30 days from Ireland but I wonder if going directly to an Embassy is better.
There’s no specific amount required by the embassies. If you do not have an invite letter, then you should have proof that you are able to sustain your travel and your way back home - flights, hotels, etc.
There’s no specific figure for this, unfortunately. Just make sure you have enough funds to cover the length of your travel. Better to have a bigger balance if you’re travelling for a month vs travelling for a week.
Hi, so my son is going for his bachelors to Germany and I want to go with him to help him with initial stage of settling down then I want to visit him after 6 months again during my leave. Can i mention in my visa application all that to get a longer visa?
Hi, I have a trip to Paris and Italy in October but the appointment slots for both are full for the rest of the year. Can I just apply my schengen through a less busy embassy here like Netherlands or Finland and get temporary ticket and hotel and include that in my itinerary for the application. And when I get my schengen, can I proceed with my original plan of just Paris and Italy?
Hello please do I need to book a multiple entry travel insurance if I intend to apply for a multiple entry visa or I just book an insurance for the duration of my first trip
You will get a letter from the embassy why they refused your application. Only reapply once your circumstances changed that rectifies the reason for previous refusal, otherwise, you’ll get another refusal. Also explain about the refusal in a cover letter.
Hey So when we get visa for the first country so we have to go there and after that can you go to another country ? Do you have to depart from the same country of your visa
Normally, you apply to the main destination (i.e. longest stay). If all countries have the same duration, you apply to the point of entry. You can exit from anywhere.
@@JenniferEstella thanks girly. I have loads of questions and googles messes with me. Every time. 🙈. And can we go to another Schengen country with the same visa later on ?
Hi Jennifer, could you please advise, how did you submit the photos- 2 copies, did you get a stamp from the photo store on both the pictures with the photo store details and the date the picture was taken? Or only on one of them or on none of them. The website only mentions of stamped photo but no further details. Would be great, if you could share your experience on this. TIA🙏🏽
Hey there! The embassy is very particular with the age of your photo but not ‘technical’ about it - with that, I mean they don’t look for date stamps. As long as the picture resembles you at your appointment, there shouldn’t be any problem. Reminder, don’t use any pictures from previous visas older than 6 months because they will catch it!
@@JenniferEstella Thank you for replying. One more query, do they need the details of the photo studio where it was clicked and a stamp/ written on the back of the picture
Hey Jennifer - did you pay for the visa before your appointment or after? How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking. Since their are no appointments I'm wondering if it is worth it to go premium.
Hey @rozinarafiq2360, I assume you’re applying with TLS. They don’t charge the actual visa fee (€80) online- only on your appointment. You only pay online for the extras (premium, courier return, etc.) but you can also purchase this on your appointment day. The premium appointment is merely a time slot outside of their normal working hours. There’s no special lounge or queue for this. It’s worth it if your travel is in 2-3 weeks, otherwise you can wait for the next slots to open up. You need to be fast tho, the normal times sell out like hotcakes!
Hey Trevor, that will be a nice holiday for your mother-in-law! It might be a little tricky because the application center is in Manila. It’s processed thru VFS which makes it a little more organized but she will need to get appointment and apply in person. What I heard is it can take around 2 months processing.
Hello jen I have already a schengen french visa from my compang a working visa its possible i can use for holiday in europe..my sister living in netherlands plan to invite me please advice me what to do and thank you ..God bless
Hi there I hope you are well,im portuguese but I live in uk, im planning to invite my filipina girlfriend to visit me in portugal and stay in my parents home with me in south portugal,would it be better to reserve hotels just in case?or could i ask my mother to write a invitation letter for her? Kind regards
So if youre given a one month Visa for Netherlands can you go for one week in Amsterdam , then go to belgium , then france … and so on until your visa expires ?
They can give you longer period if they see fit. ☺️ and you’re right, the validity of my visa is for 2 years but I can only stay up to 90 days at once.
You need to tell them your travel dates at the minimum. You can try to apply for multiple entries if you can provide details of your future travels. That does not guarantee multiple entries, but it’s worth a try.
I have tried to make an appointment for my Filipina girlfriend to visit me in Finland. However, so far I have not had any success in making an appointment for her in Manila. It seems the visa appointment is beyond my abilities, She has also asked friends and contacts to help her but no luck despite many trying. Any suggestions-?
Hey Jennifer !! I have applied for Greece visa and got visa only for 9 days and I want to travel to Germany just in some days after that. Do I need to apply for visa extension or can I apply for another to Germany ? Also how many days does it take to get the Germany visa ? (I am an Indian student studying in the UK )
Hi is it different agency the one you added in the description and the one you mentioned here for dummy ticket? If its different which one is better option and how long the ticket validity as visa processing time is 15days ish? Please kindly reply. Thanks@@JenniferEstella
Hi Jennifer, Do you have to go to the country that issued the Schengen Visa First to actiavte the visa before going to another country? Example, if France gave you a visa, do you hvae to go to France before going to Spain?
@@JenniferEstella thank you. I followed your tips on your video and I got my Schengen Visa. 3 Months. So i just wanted to be sure on which of the countries I could visit first.
Thanks for the vid! Just one question, if you apply for a visa, in Germany for example, you need to enter Germany first before going to another schengen country right?
Not necessarily. The guidance says you apply to the embassy where you’re staying the longest. If Germany is also your first entry and the longest stay, then yes.
Thanks for your video. However, the link you mentioned for dummy tickets is selling non verifiable fake tickets. Please be aware of that since I just bought a ticket from them and I couldn't verify it.
I have a student visa to do one year of my PhD studies in France. After it expires can I get out of the Schengen area e return to France the following day as a tourist? I would like to do this just to stay an extra week in France.
I’m not too familiar with the student visa in France. But usually there’s a one year extension after your graduation - temporary residence permit. Try and research for that perhaps.
Hello po. What financial proof/documents are needed by my senior parents? Both are retired na and balak ko na ako ang magshoulder sa trip namin to Europe
Did you get a 3 year visa for a tourist visa application ? How long were the trips(stays+itineraries) you used to apply for the visa? And was each of the 1 , 2 and 3 year visas granted for a visa where you specifically requested a multiple entry visa?
If you’re aiming for longer period, plan for future travels and mention it on your cover letter. If it’s too far away in terms of time, you don’t need to include hotel bookings/flights.
Hello ms.jen my schengen visa application still on process. Pero intended date ko po departure may 25. Ate paano po kayo un kapag nalate dumating tapos naaprobahan po ang visa ko. Magkakaconflict po ba un sa application ko na intended date na pinili ko. Gang ngaun wala pa din po kasi. Mag20 days na
Hello, where are you located? And anong embassy ka nagapply? Processing can take up to 3 weeks, so pasok pa naman sa 20 days mo. If you’re worried, I suggest you contact the embassy or agency to follow up.
Hey. We have the same issue. I wrote them an e-mail and complained since there were no open slots for weeks. Maybe they are overwhelmed by the amount of applicants or they even fired personal during the pandemic. How should one properly plan a trip like that since you have to be physically present in Manila for the biometric data? This is their answer: Kindly be informed that the appointment slot for the month of October has opened in the last week of September. However, Kindly be informed that the appointment slots for October are fully booked and appointment schedules for November are not open yet. Appointment slots for the following month usually open on the last week of the current month. This would mean in my understanding that next week (Monday) the slots for November open.
There’s different processing requirements by country - best to do your own research, this video gives tips on how you can try and aim for longer period validity.
Hi, thanks for this video. I just want to clarify did you just say that I can apply to the embassy of Germany or the Netherlands just for longer visa validity but the country that I'll visit is another country let's say for example France?
You can apply to any schengen country but you need to provide travel documentation visiting that country - in your case, France. Regardless who gave the visa, you can use it anywhere within the schengen area.
Thanks for the video, however I took travel insurence silver quete from Chil to apply for shengan in German Visa Application Center in Chicago, they didn't accept it, so watch out.
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! The German embassy in the US might be different. Chill is an EU company based in Ireland. They might want a US travel insurance company perhaps?
Hi, I’m going to apply for my second schengen visa in Spain Embassy. Im planning to stay for 15 days only. But I’m aiming to get a multiple entry visa. Do you recommend if I tick off the multiple entry or a single entry? Coz I have heard that even if you tick a single entry they can give you a multiple entry. So I’m confused if Im going to tick a single entry or the multiple entry on my application. Your advice will be appreciated. 🙏🏻😊
I suggest to tick the multiple entry visa, only if you have documentations for multiple travels (e.g. mention in your cover letter about your other planned travels and add the itinerary if you already have it). That increases the chance of you getting multiple entries.
Hi Jen, I was wondering if you can include plans like applying for a working holiday visa once you arrive somewhere, as part of your application? As most of these types of visas require you to be in the country to apply ?
Hey, you apply working holiday visas from the embassy on your home country - not on the destination country. If you are applying for a tourist visa, it’s better to only provide info on your travel plans (short-term stay) not for long stay.
I did get a dummy ticket for my application. Just note that the ticket is only valid for a certain period depending on the agency where you got it. The insurance, there’s no dummy, you need to buy an insurance. If you know the exact dates you are travelling, get the single trip insurance which is usually cheaper than multi trip (unless you are planning to travel multiple times, then multi trip makes more sense for you).
@@bluepane5383 I don’t think you can get it yourself. These agents usually have a system to reserve tickets for a small amount. The last time I got it, it cost me $15 which isn’t too bad.
anong agency pweding aplayan dyan na skilled worker dito ako sa malta part ng schengen country katulad ng aircon techniican or assistang electrician keep safe jen

What are the financial requirements? What if you do not have an invite letter?
There’s no specific amount required by the embassies. If you do not have an invite letter, then you should have proof that you are able to sustain your travel and your way back home - flights, hotels, etc.
what’s the minimum proof of funds required for a schengen visa?
There’s no specific figure for this, unfortunately. Just make sure you have enough funds to cover the length of your travel. Better to have a bigger balance if you’re travelling for a month vs travelling for a week.
Won’t you have an issue using dummy tickets for visa applications
As long as it’s valid during your visa application period, it should be okay.

Hi Ahmed, hmm, that’s strange. I’ve always used this and never got a problem with my tickets… how are you trying to verify it?
@JenniferEstella By the ticket reference number on the main airline website. It's totally a scam website that charges you for made-up flights
I have a student visa to do one year of my PhD studies in France. After it expires can I get out of the Schengen area e return to France the following day as a tourist? I would like to do this just to stay an extra week in France.
I’m not too familiar with the student visa in France. But usually there’s a one year extension after your graduation - temporary residence permit. Try and research for that perhaps.
Please where is the link for travel ticket
Please check the description ☺️
@@JenniferEstella I have not seen it
Please which travel insurance you use for multiple entry
Chill insurance. It’s on the description box ☺️
Hello po. What financial proof/documents are needed by my senior parents? Both are retired na and balak ko na ako ang magshoulder sa trip namin to Europe
Where are you applying from?
@@JenniferEstella from PH po
Did you get a 3 year visa for a tourist visa application ? How long were the trips(stays+itineraries) you used to apply for the visa? And was each of the 1 , 2 and 3 year visas granted for a visa where you specifically requested a multiple entry visa?
2-year tourist visa 🙂 I got it mainly because that’s my 3rd time applying to the same embassy.
If you’re aiming for longer period, plan for future travels and mention it on your cover letter. If it’s too far away in terms of time, you don’t need to include hotel bookings/flights.
Hello ms.jen my schengen visa application still on process. Pero intended date ko po departure may 25. Ate paano po kayo un kapag nalate dumating tapos naaprobahan po ang visa ko. Magkakaconflict po ba un sa application ko na intended date na pinili ko. Gang ngaun wala pa din po kasi. Mag20 days na
Hello, where are you located? And anong embassy ka nagapply? Processing can take up to 3 weeks, so pasok pa naman sa 20 days mo. If you’re worried, I suggest you contact the embassy or agency to follow up.
Hey! Im unable to get an appointment on vfs for netherlands, it simply doesnt show any dates at all. Do you have any idea on this?
Hey! It means the sched is not available yet. You need to keep on checking when they release it.
Hey. We have the same issue. I wrote them an e-mail and complained since there were no open slots for weeks. Maybe they are overwhelmed by the amount of applicants or they even fired personal during the pandemic. How should one properly plan a trip like that since you have to be physically present in Manila for the biometric data? This is their answer:
Kindly be informed that the appointment slot for the month of October has opened in the last week of September.
However, Kindly be informed that the appointment slots for October are fully booked and appointment schedules for November are not open yet. Appointment slots for the following month usually open on the last week of the current month.
This would mean in my understanding that next week (Monday) the slots for November open.
Thanks could I ask how to apply from emirates
There’s different processing requirements by country - best to do your own research, this video gives tips on how you can try and aim for longer period validity.
Can I visit republic Ireland with schengan visa?
Ireland is not part of the Schengen area. So, unfortunately, no…
ang ganda nyo po ❤ san po kayo sa Ireland
Ay thank you naman ❤️ sa Kerry ako 🙂
Hi, If i had Schengen visa 1 year back, do i need to again make an appointment at TLS contact if I am applying again?
Yes you do.
Thank You@@JenniferEstella
Hi, thanks for this video. I just want to clarify did you just say that I can apply to the embassy of Germany or the Netherlands just for longer visa validity but the country that I'll visit is another country let's say for example France?
You can apply to any schengen country but you need to provide travel documentation visiting that country - in your case, France. Regardless who gave the visa, you can use it anywhere within the schengen area.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for the video. Please can you help me out on how to get Schengen visa to Spain?
Hey there, you might have different steps based on your location.
Thanks for the video, however I took travel insurence silver quete from Chil to apply for shengan in German Visa Application Center in Chicago, they didn't accept it, so watch out.
Hey there, thanks for the feedback! The German embassy in the US might be different. Chill is an EU company based in Ireland. They might want a US travel insurance company perhaps?
Hi, I’m going to apply for my second schengen visa in Spain Embassy. Im planning to stay for 15 days only. But I’m aiming to get a multiple entry visa. Do you recommend if I tick off the multiple entry or a single entry? Coz I have heard that even if you tick a single entry they can give you a multiple entry. So I’m confused if Im going to tick a single entry or the multiple entry on my application. Your advice will be appreciated. 🙏🏻😊
I suggest to tick the multiple entry visa, only if you have documentations for multiple travels (e.g. mention in your cover letter about your other planned travels and add the itinerary if you already have it). That increases the chance of you getting multiple entries.
Hi Jen, I was wondering if you can include plans like applying for a working holiday visa once you arrive somewhere, as part of your application? As most of these types of visas require you to be in the country to apply ?
Hey, you apply working holiday visas from the embassy on your home country - not on the destination country. If you are applying for a tourist visa, it’s better to only provide info on your travel plans (short-term stay) not for long stay.
Hi Jen, how did you reserve flights for the Schengen visa application and also insurance? That's our main concern. Any tips would bel helpful.
I did get a dummy ticket for my application. Just note that the ticket is only valid for a certain period depending on the agency where you got it. The insurance, there’s no dummy, you need to buy an insurance. If you know the exact dates you are travelling, get the single trip insurance which is usually cheaper than multi trip (unless you are planning to travel multiple times, then multi trip makes more sense for you).
@@JenniferEstella Thanks for the reply. Do I really have to go through agents for the dummy tickets? Is there a way where I can get it myself?
@@bluepane5383 I don’t think you can get it yourself. These agents usually have a system to reserve tickets for a small amount. The last time I got it, it cost me $15 which isn’t too bad.
I got my greece visa for only 20 days (single entry) 😢
Ahh, that sucks! But that’s even better than mine. I got 8 days waaay back 😅
Good morning po . I’m planning po mag travel sa Spain this coming September. Pwede na po ba ako mag apply ng visa?
Nope, earliest you can apply is 3 months before your flight. Check for appointments earlier though kase mabilis maubos
Thanks po sa info. May tutorial video po kayo how to book a dummy ticket?
Ireland is not Schengen zone
Indeed! That’s why I still need to apply for Schengen Visa to travel around Europe 🙂
If we not reserved tickets for future travel but just mentioned plans in cover letter will it work
You can mention it on your cover letter.
anong agency pweding aplayan dyan na skilled worker dito ako sa malta part ng schengen country katulad ng aircon techniican or assistang electrician keep safe jen
Hi, may I ask, for the visa issued for more than 90 days validity of stay, did you also received a residence permit or not?
No, the visa is only for tourism.
