HOW TO APPLY FOR A SCHENGEN VISA & Other Frequently Asked Questions (Filipino w/ English Subs)

[@MsJanetValdivia]

Bago nag pandemic ito yung plan kong puntahan namin download ko pa yung itinerary nyo. In the future sana makapunta na kami. Salamat ulit.

[@wtfstudioinc.1827]

I would like to correct 17:13 when you said that you can go in and out of Europe unli or unlimited on a multiple entry. Please take note that multiple entry visa has a RULE. A multiple-entry Schengen visa permits its holder to go in and out of the Schengen Area as many times as he or she wants, as soon as they do not violate the 90/180 rule. Which means they do not remain in the Schengen zone longer than 90 days, within 180 days. I know this because I frequently fly in and out of Europe using a 4 year multiple entry visa.

[@rymaithar7456]

hello, do u know if we have to make our 1st entry from the country that issued the visa or can we go enter to the schengen area from any country

Update: Applied via NED 3.17, received my visa by 3.21. :D It is my fourth visa in six years. Got two years. (woot) I guess it's really fast nowadays.

[@rosariomiguel8368]

I went through the same process when we visited Paris FRANCE. I did not have difficulty cause I submitted all the necessary papers required. I was not interview anymore, yes I also had a visa for UK through VFS ,AND IT TOOK 15 WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE VISA WAS ISSUED.

Nag e issue po ba ng fiancee visa ang france embassy sa pinas?

[@llbuitre]

13:12 totoo. Nung pagpasok namin sa austria, tinanong kami nung immigration officer kung ilang araw kami sa schengen zone, anu-ano pupuntahan naming countries at kailan exit namin. Parang highlevel lang naman yung need niyang answer. Tinitignan lang niya kung dadaan kami sa germany which is yung nagbigay ng schengen visa sa amin and lalabas kami sa schengen zone before our visa expires. Pero feeling ko, one wrong amswer, di kami papapasukin. 🤣 Tsaka pulis o federal officers yung nasa immigration gates nila sa europe. 😅

[@yayin43]

What if I’m already retired but have US, Canadian and Australian, Japan visas. And I have travelled to the US and Canada more than once. My last travel is to Australian and Japan. Australia gave me a multiple entry 1 year visa. That’s very generous bec my friend got only 26 days, that’s the duration of their stay. Would it be easy for me to get Schengen visa? But I still have duties on some corporations that I served as stockholder and officer. I signed documents for the corporation. I traveled many times to southeast Asian countries like HK, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Bali, Thailand.

Hi guys, thanks for doing this video. I need some clarification about the travel insurance requirement for a Schengen visa application at the Italian embassy. Should the coverage period of the insurance be the exact days of travel, or is it required to add 15 days? Many thanks in advance!

Minimum coverage of €30,000 (with additional 15-day allowance beyond your travel dates).

Hi. Very informative video. For the show money, does it have to be money in your savings account alone? Or can I have the minimum on a savings account then just show other investments?

[@thepoortraveler]

Yes, it's the money you have in your savings account or travel fund account. You have to convince the embassy that you can fund your trip and you can still live comfortably even when you return to the Philippines after the trip.

Ok ba yon? Hindi ba ako magkakaproblema?

[@victoriaaletaaustria2817]

I beg to disagree, been to Europe many time and Schengen visa must be gotten at entry country AND STAY must be longer compared to other countries to be visited. Because when i applied online on my 3rd European trip, after thr online submission, got to call for personal appearance schedule & was asked how Come I applied at Embassy of Germany when I'm staying longer in Austria. I asked if I ougt to submit a new one znd was told I can just write over the number of days in Germany & Austria but taking note of the revised dates in my hotel bookings and itineraries. I was given multiple visa because of several countries I'd go to. (1st trip was a Filipino travel agency package so I didn't apply for it; 2nd was England only applied through VFS). After this 3rd trip, UK (not Schengen to London (applied through VFS), Scotland (Glasgow), & Ireland- Belfast only. If going to Dublin must have Schengen).
