Hi everyone,
I am working on a blog post to help our community navigate the often confusing world of travel documentation. I would love to hear your experiences with Schengen visa applications over the last five years, specifically if you applied from outside the Schengen zone.
I am looking for the real “on the ground” details. Did the consulate ask for extra documents not listed on the website? How long did the process actually take versus what they promised? Whether it was a smooth success or a frustrating rejection, your stories will help others prepare better.
Please share which country you applied to and any tips you might have for future applicants.
