How to Complete the Schengen Visa Application Form

What is a Schengen Visa?

The Schengen visa regime is based on the idea of Europe as a uniﬁed, borderless body. Schengen refers to more than just a jurisdictional boundary. There is no speciﬁc Schengen country; instead, it is a seamless region that represents the diversity of Europe.

Completing the Schengen visa application form

The Schengen visa has a lot of columns that must be ﬁlled. Personal data like residential address, número de teléfono, signature and the place and date of signature are needed.

Filling out the form correctly can be tricky. Here are detailed guidelines on how you can ﬁll out the application form.

Example: Imagine a Russian visitor looking forward to staying 10 days in the Schengen Area, of which 6 days will be provided in Germany and 4 days in Sweden. Por lo tanto, the visitor must apply to the embassy of Germany since he will spend the maximum duration in that country.

  1. Dear Sir/Madam,

    I am an Afghan citizen and living in Afghanistan. I am traveling to the UK in February 2019 for an official visit to attend a conference in . I would really appreciate it if you could please advise whether I can apply for a Schengen visa in the UK. Is there a timeline that how long it will take to process a Schengen visa and if I can apply for a Schengen visa in the UK, do you have a representation in the Scotland so I can submit my visa application there instead of coming to London. Además, whether I can apply online or I also can submit hard copy of my visa application with the relevant supporting documents.

    Warm regards

    • Hi Naqibullah,

      If the visit is not an official visit, there are only a few countries that you will be able to apply through.

      En general, the applicant needs to apply for a Schengen visa from his/her residence country (or in your case the closest submission country).

      De lo contrario, on a visit visa to the UK, the following countries accept applications from visitors: Belgium, Portugal and Netherlands

      En general, the timescales is advertised as 15 working days but as a visitor, this could be longer.

      And yes, we can help if you are also based in Scotland.
