A sample of filling out a questionnaire for the Schengen visa is given in this article later. It is recommended to download the Schengen form from the official resources of the embassies of the countries entering the Schengen area. The validity of the visa is 90 days for a half year. The document gives the right to a single use of a given number of days or a multiple, that is, for a foreigner who has arrived, for example, to Italy, there are 90 days that he can spend without leaving the country, or arrive for 30 days, leave, then again arrive At 30, leave, and so on.

What do you need to know about sthengen?

Before processing the documents, you need to understand what type of visa you need. Suppose you decided to go on business to Germany. In this case, you need a Schengen visa. A questionnaire, a sample of filling and a detailed explanation of the requirements for each item is in this article. On how many days you expect to come to a foreign country, and the type of visa will depend . So, if you plan to stay in the country for less than 90 days, with the purpose of stay being tourism, guest / business trip or treatment, you need to apply for a Shegean visa.

If the period of your stay exceeds 90 days, for example, in the case of family reunification, training or employment, the Schengen visa application form is not filled. In this case, you need to write an application for a permit for a long stay in Germany. Therefore, you need to issue a so-called national visa.

How to start issuing a Schengen visa?

In order to understand how the questionnaire for the Schengen visa is filled in and how the document filing process is carried out, let us consider a specific example. You are going to Germany by tourpot. What do we have to do? First you need to apply for a visa. You can do it in the VFS Global service and visa center. The main advantage of this application is that there is no preliminary record for filing documentation. Minus - the presence of a queue.

In addition, you can submit your application by contacting the Visa Section at the embassy. However, such treatment is possible on condition of prior recording. The exception is an emergency medical case for the person who applied. When preparing the application form, do not forget to study the sample of filling out the form for the Schengen visa.

How to apply for a visa application?

• +7 (499) 681-13-65;
• +7 (499) 426-03-25.

Note: calls to these phone numbers are accepted all week, except weekends and holidays, from 8:30 to 17:00. When registering an application, you may be asked the series and number of the passport.

Can I sign up for documents online?

You can also make an application online. To do this, select the appropriate section ("Schengen visa") on the official resource of the Service and Visa Center.

The application form itself, as well as the sample of filling out the form for the Schengen visa, can be downloaded free of charge on the website of the German Embassy in Russia. You can fill out the application form in both Russian and German. The main thing is to apply about three weeks before the trip abroad. The application will be processed within 5-7 days.

What should I indicate in the application form for issuing a visa?

In the application for the Schengen it is necessary to indicate the following data:

• Last name at the moment;
• The surname given at birth;
• name;
• Date and place of birth;
• Country of residence;
• Citizenship at the moment;
• Citizenship at birth (if different from the current status);
• floor;
• marital status;
• Name of minor children and the address of their registration (in case there is a difference from the applicant's address);
• an identification number;
• The category of the document proving the identity (the passport, the diplomatic passport);
• Passport number, when and by whom issued;
• Home address and e-mail;
• contact phone number;
• A professional position at the moment, etc.

We recommend that you carefully study the example of filling out a questionnaire for the Schengen visa, presented in the article below. Take care of the registration of documents extremely carefully, since if you specify false information about yourself in the application, you can be deported from Germany without explaining the reasons. In this case, the visa will be canceled.

What do you need to consider when filling out sections of the visa application form?

When filling out the application form for a visa, certain points must be taken into account. So, in the "Name and Surname" it is necessary to indicate your data exclusively in Latin and in the same way as they are written in your passport. The same applies to changed surnames.

In the "Date of birth" it is necessary to indicate the date in reverse order: first a year, then a month and then a number. Otherwise, you will not be issued a Schengen visa. The sample of filling out the visa application form, given below, will help you avoid such troubles and will give the opportunity to issue the form correctly.

The section "Place of birth" indicates the city of your birth or region. In this case, you need to focus on the data that is specified in your passport. For example, if your hometown is Moscow, specify it in the questionnaire. If you were born in the same city, and then your location changed (Moscow - Kursk), then in the application you need to specify only the place in which you were born. If the place of your birth is the village of Druzhba, Ramensky district in the Moscow region, then you record only the name of the area. It is these requirements that contain instructions for completing the questionnaire for obtaining a Schengen visa.

If everything is clear with the country of birth and citizenship, then the column "The category of the travel document" needs some explanation. In particular, here you should specify exactly the document that you will use when you enter Germany or any other country in the Schengen area. In this case, there is no need to mention all your travel documents. Only one is needed. As a rule, this is a foreign passport.

In the "Destination country", specify only the country in which you will stay for the longest time (if you intend to visit several countries at once).

In the column in which it is necessary to specify the identification number, you must either enter this code, or leave the field blank (in case it does not exist).

In 14-17 points all the data of the passport (series, number, when and by whom issued, the date of issue and expiration of the action) are indicated.

At those points where it is necessary to enter addresses (residence, work, study, etc.), there is no need to translate Russian names. It will be more correct to make transliteration. For example, "Vernadsky Avenue" will look like "pr. Vernadskogo".

In paragraph 18, it is necessary to tick the "Yes" (if you have a dual citizenship) and "No" (if it is not).

In point 19, indicate your current profession, the name of which must necessarily coincide with the information in the certificate from the place of work. If at the moment you do not work anywhere, then in this column it is recommended to put a dash. Students enroll students "Student" and leave the dean's contact, address and name of the school.

In the column "The main purpose of the trip," as the sample of filling out the Schengen visa application form shows, the real purpose of visiting the country should be indicated. For example, tourism.

What should I not forget when registering a questionnaire?

Filling in the column "Planned time of stay", indicate the real number of days. At the same time, remember: both the medical insurance and hotel reservation must be calculated for the specified number of days. If you received an invitation to enter the country from your relative or friend (and it is really exactly three months), then it makes no sense to issue a visa for 90 days. In the column under consideration, indicate as many days as you plan to stay in the country of the Schengen area, not including the validity of the invitation.

Do not forget to specify all previously issued visas. For example, 10.01.2000 - 25.02.2000, Germany. At the same time, you do not need to mention those countries for which you do not need a Schengen visa.

When signing the application form, please note that their parents or guardians sign for children under the age of 16 years. Children over the age of 16 put their signatures themselves.

What should I do after I apply for a visa?

After submitting a visa application form, you will only have to wait for a response. At the same time, every person applying to the embassy or VFS Global can independently track the status of his application. To do this, he can call the hotline of the contact center: + 7 (499) 681-13-65 and + 7 (499) 426-03-25.

Once the decision on your application is accepted, you will receive a service SMS. Your passport with a ready visa can then be obtained in person at the embassy or visa center, as well as by courier service. The cost of delivery will depend on the location of your stay. In addition, this amount will need to add about 140 rubles for the shipment.
