We have made four European tours so far, two of them lasted 2 months. Hence, we receive tons of questions about getting a Schengen Visa. It’s quite expected. Europe is a dream destination for many, and the Schengen Visa is probably the most complicated visa there is. In this video, we’ll try to answer the questions we have been asked the most as adequately as we can.
The goal is to help other applicants have a better picture of the process. But we strongly encourage you to still contact the embassies for more updated info.

Hi! May I ask something about Schengen Visa When pandemic is over: My mother who is about to turn senior citizen will be applying for a schengen tourist visa. She is unemployed (eversince) but financially capable of travelling. What should I do/submit in order for her to be granted the visa? She will be going with me and I am currently employed, btw. Thanks.

[@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.

[@lesliesugano2775]

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

[@youronlyjenny]

Thanks guys.. so helpful..

[@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

[@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.

[@femscapades4285]

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. You can check the detailed info below ⬇️⬇️⬇️ www.thepoortraveler.net/2017/01/schengen-visa-filipino-tourists-frequently-asked-questions/#How_much_money_should_I_have_in_the_bank_to_be_approved Investments under your name is part of the proof of rootedness requirement.

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

How to apply visa for any country without sponsor or invitation letter?

[@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. 😅

[@yannacurlzzzzzz4196]

Na approve po visa namin, sobrang helpful tong Video na ito! Pwede po kaya Lumabas ng Netherlands papuntang Belgium then balik ulit ng Netherlands, Single entry lang po kami.

Hi, what if the trip is sponsored by someone from Schengen country, is it still required to have my ITR and bank statements.? By the way, my work is homebased. Thanks for answering :)

Hi! You mean, instead of direct non-stop flight, you decided to book two flights with a connection at another airport? If so, yes, that should be fine. :)

Sir may question po ako. I hope you would notice me. Halimbawa nag apply ako schengen visa and im planning to stay most of my days in iceland, can i still be able to visit other schengen countries like paris switzerland etc within 90 days? Hindi na ba po ako kelangan pa mag apply ng additional visas or anything para maka travel pa ng more than 1 country? And also kung sa reykjavik ako nag arrive dun din ako dapat magbook ng flight back to manila? Or can i book from other country which ill be visiting last? Confused po ako e.
