5. It is better to submit documents to the consulate of the country in which the entry is planned.
Often tourists are advised to make a fictitious hotel booking in the country where visa policy is freer. However, if such frauds open, you can lose the opportunity to obtain a visa for many years, violating the rule of first entry.
Indeed, there are countries that are more likely to issue visas to Russians. This is Spain, France, Slovakia, Italy and Greece. A much higher percentage of refusals when issuing visas to the best ski resorts, Switzerland, Germany or Austria. Perhaps that's why it makes sense to build your route in such a way that the country of entry and first days of stay is the state among the most loyal.
4. Fill in all the documents yourself.
Near the consulates and visa centers there are always people who are ready to help with the filling of forms and questionnaires for a fee. However, the requirements, forms of documents and exact rules for filling them are better taken on the website of the consulate of the specific country in which Schengen is drawn up.
It is also better to fill out the forms on your own so that you do not get a refusal because of an error made by an ostensibly competent specialist who documents documents for money.
3. The information in the questionnaire, as well as the package of documents, should be as complete as possible.
The more information the consulate receives, the better the chances of getting it. What documents are needed for issuing a Schengen visa: a minimum set includes round-trip tickets, as well as a confirmed hotel reservation for the entire stay.
If you plan to stay with friends or relatives, an invitation can be presented instead of the reservation.
2. Do not be afraid to make out Schengen if you do not have an official job.
To go on vacation, a tourist does not have to work in any organization. Many consulates, instead of a certificate from the employer, are loyal to the letter in free form, explaining that at the moment the tourist is not employed, but has sufficient means for rest, which is confirmed by a certificate from a reliable bank.
1. When submitting documents and passing the interview, rest assured and calm.
Do not be nervous, feel shy and shy. Any tourist is worth a Schengen visa if presented a full package of documents. Do not go for the benefit of an overly assertive and impudent style of behavior.
Tranquility and confidence in your own right to a European vacation will help to pass without any problems all the necessary authorities on the way to a cherished visa.
