1. Make sure you maintain a good balance (1 Lac or
above) consistently over a period of last few months in your bank account. If you transfer a big amount just few days
before application date then that may raise eyebrows. Also, a current balance
of 2 lac would be a good number to show that you can bear the expenses in
Europe yourself.
2. It would be better if you have visited some other
countries earlier and thus do not have a blank passport. As per my
understanding blank passports have higher chances of rejection.
3. You can submit your fixed deposit copies as an
additional proof of funds.
4. Embassy wants to make sure you would return to your
home country hence NOC letter becomes important indicating you have to return
to your job.
5. Take every document very seriously as you never
know one document may cause a problem.
6. Though application procedure is same for all countries in Schengen region,
still it would be a good idea to visit embassy web site of specific country you
want to visit. Some countries may require additional documents.
If you are
thinking that I am mentioning whole process with unnecessary seriousness, then
it would be good to know that my tourist visa to Spain has been denied in past
and I was not told the reason. Embassies do not require you to give a reason
for rejection. My rejection letter only has a statement” Your application has
been rejected”. Hence, I have reason to inform others so that probability of
rejection is less.
When you are visiting multiple countries then embassy
to which the application should be made is decided based on following rules:
(a) the Member State whose territory constitutes the
sole destination of the visit(s).
(b) if the visit includes more than one destination,
the Member State whose territory constitutes
the main destination of the visit(s) in terms of the
length or purpose of stay.
(c) if no main destination can be determined, the
Member State whose external border the
applicant intends to cross first in order to enter the
territory of the Member States.
Time
Taken: Min 15 working days or more depends upon Embassy discretion
Once the application is received at embassy following
are the possible outcomes:
2. Embassy can ask for any additional documents.
3. Embassy can call for personal interview.
4. Application is rejected.
