    I'm planning to apply a tourist Visa in German Embassy. I have a Danish friends living in Spain inviting me to tour Europe for 2 months(summer) by CAR..NO hotel bookings kasi mag tetent lang..they already sent me the Itinerary for our trip. They're going to meet me up at Munich.

    I don't know how to work this out coz I've applied a student visa in Spain last year august but was rejected.
    In applying for tourist visa, you need to include your itinerary to your application together with all the necessary requirements. Make sure that you can satisfy the financial requirement so you may be given a visa.

    has anyone experienced travelling to Europe with a stopover in Abu Dhabi? My flight's on the 24th and from KL-Abu Dhabu-Berlin-Poland. I am now wondering if I will still require a transit visa if I won't go out of Abu Dhabi airport since and I will just be at the airport in AbuDhabi waiting for my connecting flight.

    Will I be questioned at the immigration of Abu Dhabi?

    Mmmm... Thanks po sa sasagot. =)

    Nung pumunta ako sa website ng Spain Embassy in Manila, wala masyadong info about how to apply at sa mga requirements na kailangan to submit for a short stay visa.

    Anyone knows if may ibang site kung saan makikita ang info about it?

    mmm... ang alam ko halos pare-pareho lang ang requirements ng schengen countries when it comes to people getting visas..

    u need to have:

    hotel accomodation
    itenerary
    bank certs
    travel insurance
    ticket reservation

    if you will have a place to stay in Spain, like a sponsor,then there's no need for hotel accomodation but your sponosr have to get an official invitation letter.

    goodluck =)

    Hope this will help.

    Checklist lang po ito which I got from Finland Embassy website.


    Applying for a Schengen visa
    Carefully completed and signed application forms together with all required appendices shall be submitted in person (not via e-mail, by mail or telefax) to the Embassy during the customer service hours, from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 12 noon. Application can be submitted earliest three months before the planned trip.
    The visa processing fee is 60 euros and it is charged when the application is submitted to the Embassy. The fee is paid in cash in the Filipino currency at the valid rate of exchange (3290 pesos in June 2012). The processing fee is non-refundable.
    The fee is not charged if the visa applicant belongs to one of the following categories:
    children under six years
    school children, students, post graduate students and accompanying teachers who undertake trips for the purpose of study or educational training
    researchers travelling for the purpose of carrying out scientific research
    family members of EU and Swiss citizens
    General Schengen visa requirements applying to all applicants:
    visit to the Embassy in person (also minors)
    passport (which is valid at least three months following the end of the visit) and a copy of it
    old passports
    Schengen visa application form carefully completed, dated and signed by the applicant
    - Visa application forms can be downloaded from the website of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs
    a recent colour passport photograph, taken within the past six months, size 36 mm wide x 47 mm high, the facial dimensions being 32 mm X 36 mm, against an off-white or light background)
    foreign nationals staying in the Philippines must be in possession of a valid residence or work permit to the Philippines
    flight reservation (Please DO NOT purchase the actual ticket beforehand. Submission of the ticket is only upon the approval of the visa)
    travel insurance (Submission of travel insurance is only upon approval of the visa)
    NBI clearance (National Bureau of Investigation, purpose for Travel abroad, max. 12 months old)
    birth certificate (Note: Only National Statistic Office (NSO) certificates printed on a security paper are accepted by the Embassy)
    other documents maybe required on a case to case basis
    Additional enclosures depending on the purpose of the travel:
    Private visit (processing time 15 days)
    an invitation letter stating the required details concerning the host and visitor (names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers), the purpose and duration of the visit, confirmation of accommodation including the address, account of the relationship between the host and the visitor. The invitation letter must be signed and dated
    a latest marriage certificate if the applicant and the host are married (Note: Only National Statistic Office (NSO) certificates printed on a security paper are accepted by the Embassy)
    a certificate of kinship between the host and the applicant (such as latest birth certificates or marriage certificate), in case of a family visit. (Note: Only National Statistic Office (NSO) certificates printed on a security paper are accepted by the Embassy)
    a copy of the host's passport or other identity document. If the host has visited the applicant in the Philippines, also the copies of entry and exit stamps have to be included
    proof of sufficient funds (such as a copy of a bank statement from the past three months or a written certificate from the employer stating regular monthly income). The level of means of subsistence depend on the length of visit, purpose of the visit, and also on the cost of living of the Schengen State or States to be visited
    certificate of employment and approved leave of absence from the company/employer
    DTI / SEC registration of Business if applicant is self-employed / entrepreneur
    school certificate if the applicant is a student and proof of enrollment
    other documents maybe required on a case to case basis
    The Finnish legistation allows the family member of a Finnish citizen to travel to Finland in order to file a residence permit application at a local police. But even if an applicant is a family member (e.g.spouse), the status does not accord him or her an automatic right to a visa. Also in this case a person has to fulfill the general visa requirements.
    Note : Late registrations are not accepted as such, the applicant must also provide e.g. school records (elementary or high school originals, Form 137) or hospital records of birth. Important : the embassy requires true verified copies of documents that led to late registration of a birth/death from the competent Civil Registrar, should these documents not meet the requirements of Rule 26 of the Philippine Administrative Order the birth/death certificate in question will not be accepted.
    Note: If the applicant and/or husband/wife was married before, an annulment/divorce/death certificate on NSO security paper authenticated by DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) has to be provided.
    If the applicant was single before marriage, the single status certificate called Certificate of No Marriage in the national indices of marriage on NSO security paper authenticated by DFA has to be provided.
    Tourist visit (processing time 15 days)
    detailed tour itinerary and the contact information of the local and Finnish tour operator

    employment certificate
    confirmation by the sending company/organisation about the travel and its purpose
    DTI / SEC registration of Business if applicant is self-employed / entrepreneur
    evidence of sufficient funds (such as a copy of a bank statement from the past three months)
    the Embassy may ask for additional enclosures, as appropriate, such as an extract from the Register of Companies
    Seaman (processing time 3 working days)
    valid passport and Seaman's book
    original POEA contract and OEC (Overseas Employment Contract)
    ticket or confirmed booking from the airlines
    letter of guarantee from the local manning agency in the Philippines
    letter of invitation from the shipping agent in Finland
    Note : The Embassy must receive a confirmation in Finnish, Swedish or English language by fax from the shipping agent in Finland, including the name list of the seamen
    After the visa decision has been made
    The Embassy doesn't inform applicants when the visa decision has been made. The applicant has to make inquiries concerning the status of his/hers visa application personally. Visa inquiries can be made during Embassy's opening hours from Monday to Thursday from 8 am to 4 pm and on Fridays from 8 am to 2.15 pm, tel. +63-2-891 5011.
    Upon collecting one's visa, the applicant must produce duly paid return tickets and traveller's insurance and copies of both. The insurance must be valid for the whole duration of the travel in all Schengen states. The minimum amount of the insurance coverage is 30,000 euros. The insurance can be taken out from any European insurance company or from an insurance company based in the Philippines, which is accepted by the embassies of the Schengen countries.

    Mas mapapadali ba ang apply ko ng visa considering na my mom is working italy? Plan ko magvisit sa kanya. Kasi sa nababasa ko mahigpit sa Italian Embassy. Salamat sa makakasagot : )

    Its actually logical, because few pinoys go to Europe (except UK) and become TNTs. Mahirap makitapsapalaran sa EU because of language and cultural differences. Its much more difficult to blend in unnoticed, which is what TNTs do to survive.

    Kung kumpleto ang documents mo, mabibigyan ka ng visa. pero yung kung gaano kadali o kahaba ang ipaghihintay mo sa visa, depende din yun sa embassy. Sa Italian Embassy kasi marami aplikante, marami kase nag-t-TNT sa Italy kaya mas mahigpit na sila ngayon.

    Thanks for your replies

    Has anyone applied for a Schengen visa at the VFS Global office for the Spanish Embassy lately?

    Balak ko kasi mag walk in na lang at huwag na mag pa appointment.

    Kasing dami rin kaya ng mga aplikante sa VFS UK office? Inabot kasi ako ng 3 hours sa VFS UK office eh

    Hello!
    Nag apply ako ng tourist visa sa Iceland. Yun friend ng cousin ko yun nag sponsor skin. Sabi ng cousin ko hindi naman daw mahigpit dun basta ipresent lang yun mga kelangan na docs. I don't have a work kaya pinalabas na lang na ako yun operations manager ng business namin(trucking business). Nung andun na kami sa embassy, meron dun sa side ng building kung san aayusin nila yun mga docs mo, i gave them all the docs needed. Kaso nag kaproblem, nagbago na sila ng policies, nahingi na sila ng proof of relationship sa nag invite, or continue yun process BUT the chances of getting a visa, malabo, mahirap. Tinawagan namin yun cousin ko, he said na ituloy na namin yun interview kasi wala din naman kami mappresent na proof na magka mag anak kami ng sponsor ko. so GO kami.
    Nilagay nila sa isang folder yung mga docs and said yun lang daw yun dadalhin ko sa taas for interview. So nung paakyat na ko para sa interview, iniwan ko na yung ibang docs na hindi niya sinama sa folder. Thinking na all the needed docs are all there.
    then nung andun na ako, yun VO checked my requirements.
    Asked niya if ginawa ko lang ba daw yun bank account ko para dun & i said no kasi lumipat lang talaga ako ng bank(from bdo to bank of commerce, madami kasi laging tao sa bdo, hassle na minsan, unlike sa boc medyo kaunti & my kua is also working in san miguel) and i said half of the money ipon ko then the other half galing sa parents ko. 143+++ yun money ko.
    The VO asked where is the proof of our relationship and i said we are distant relatives. Actually, i expected to ask questions kaso wala siyang tinanong masyado, she focused on my docs. Nung nasa baba pa lang kami hindi na koconfident sa requirements ko. Pero i still prepared myself sa interview, yun nga lang wala masyadong tinanong, yun lang sa bank cert ko & kung sino yun sponsor ko. May hinahanap siyang ibang docs na meron ako pero hindi naisama nung nagprepare ng requirements ko sa baba. I told her na will she allow me to get my other reqs sa car and she answered na late na daw, magllunchbreak na. Naiinis ako sa sarili ko kung bat hindi ko pa sinama yun ibang reqs, on the 2nd thought, just what the girl instructed me, yun folder (& an id) lang yun dadalhin ko dun sa taas.
    After the interview, alam ko na mababa yun chances na magrant yun visa ko. Sobrang depressing. Dami ko natutunan and narealized dun, hindi pala dapat ako nagrely lang sa instructions ng cousin ko.

    Question. Pwede pa ba akong mag apply ulit ng visa? Saan ba mas madali and hondi ganun kahigpit? Thanks!

    Hi, you have to apply for a visa at the embassy of the country where you'll stay the longest or the country of your point of entry. =)

    Hello everyone,

    Is it just correct that the Visa (Schengen) validity covers the departure/arrival date earlier/later, even if I'm technically not in the area yet? It's a Business Visa stamped with a specific validity date.

    For example:
    Visa Issued From: June 25 to: July 7

    Itinerary:
    June 25 Departure from Manila, June 26 Arrival to Schengen Area
    July 6 Departure from Schengen Area, July 7 Arrival in Manila

    TIA!

  19. #3559
    I am so happy approved yung Schengen visa ko. Ang bilis lang ng processing time.

    Lodged application on Aug 19
    Processed visa application received by the VFS office (Spain Visa Center) on Aug 22
    Picked up passport on Aug 25

    Yung binigay sa aking validity

    August 20th to September 15
    Multiple Entry
    Duration of Stay is 12 days

    Please correct me if I am wrong this means I can enter the Schengen area multiple times (coming from the Non-Schenge area like the UK) provided each entry wouldn't exceed 12 days right?

  20. #3560
    Hi there!

    I'm planning to apply for my Schengen visa this coming September as I was invited by a friend to stay in Germany for a few weeks. My dilemma is that I have been a part time worker and then recently just absorbed by the company which I am working in. I have no problems with certification because my friend will get this Formal Obligation doc from his place.

    What is boggling me is the fact that I don't have strong ties in the Philippines as I am currently single and don't have much property. The only thing I can present is my current application staus for immigrant visa in the US. It is still pending and I have to really go back to the Philippines once my day for the interview comes.

    Will this be a valid reason for strong ties?

    Thanks!
    J
