Schengen

After the simplified regime for Russian citizens was abolished, it is almost impossible to obtain a long-term visa in a blank passport. Often, even after a visa history, the consulate can issue a visa for the duration of the trip. The countries that often issue the first visas for six months are France and Italy, while Spain can issue visas for 90 days.

Standard set of Schengen documents:

• Valid international passport;
• The second one is valid, according to the rules, it must also be submitted to the consulate. If you need to keep it, we can help you with that;
• A foreign passport with a previous Schengen history Schengen photos, not older than 6 months, colored on a white background, 4.5 by 4.5;
• A certificate of employment showing the position, experience and salary. Or a pension certificate or a school certificate;
• Certificate from the bank. Here you will need 2 documents: the balance (from 250 thousand) +the movement for 3 months on this account;
• Marriage certificate; birth certificate.

The documents we prepare:

• booking tickets;
• hotel reservations;
• insurance;
• questionnaire;
• consent to data processing;

In individual cases, additional documents may be required due to the peculiarities of the case.

It now takes an average of a month to apply for a visa. If we talk about our favorite Spain, it takes 6 weeks to process it. If you need to apply for a Schengen application as soon as possible, it is best to apply through Greece or Hungary. For them, the processing time is about 2 weeks, but their visa period is short.

According to the rules, it is better to do Schengen in the country where you plan to stay for the most days. If you plan to visit several countries and spend the same time, it is better to do Schengen in the country where you arrive first. If you have another country's stamp on this visa, the next time you apply, you will need to explain to the consulate that you simply used these countries to enter, for example, because the tickets were cheaper and then you stayed in the country that issued the visa all the time. Since there are no marks within the Schengen area, it will be impossible to verify this. But it is better to back up the explanation with evidence. We are helping with this. There are some countries with very strict customs controls that you should not fly to with someone else's visa, such as Germany. We do not recommend flying directly there with another country's Schengen.

In case of refusal, it is necessary to consider a further strategy and carefully consider each step. We try to immediately strengthen all weaknesses when we first serve to minimize the risk of rejection. But if this happens, we can offer the following options:

1. To block a refusal through a consul in the Russian Federation through a consul. Price from 6,000 euros. Covers any number of failures.


2. You can try to correct your refusal, here you need to see whether the specific reasons for the refusal will be specified, whether it is an obvious or hidden refusal, and whether it can be corrected. You can wait for a while and go to another country. You can follow the path of a nomad's D visa, through the Russian Federation, since the refusal of a Schengen visa does not affect this type of visa (suitable for those who continue to want to obtain a residence permit in Spain)

You can contact us for analysis and we will tell you which path you should take.

What you SHOULD NOT DO for sure is to apply directly to another country. After a refusal, you are entered into the general Schengen database and everyone will see that you have recently been refused in another country. It will look suspicious to them that your plans changed so quickly, and they are guaranteed to refuse.

If you have previously been fingerprinted for a Schengen visa and they are not more than 5 years old, then remote processing is possible.

Show a large amount on your account, prove your connection to your place of residence, prepare a legend (book tickets and a hotel). You can contact us and we will suggest the most effective submission strategy.
