Schengen Visa

Hi, I'm going to apply for a student visa for Belgium. However I need to apply through other country. And they ask me to bring medical certificate. I have herpes and hpv which will be visible in my blood test. Is it problem for Schengen visa? Please help me.

Hi,

I applied for the schengen Visa from the netherlands VAC delhi on 10th March, till now the tracker shows that the application has been sent to the embassy for further processing.

I have a valid UK visa on my passport which i got in 1 day.

Along with my application and cover letter i submitted

travel insurance papers
Return flight ticket to Amsterdam and from London
Hostel booking in Netherlands, Berlin and Prague
In my cover letter i had mentioned my itiniary in which i mentioned italy and spain also but i didnt attach hostel booking for the same, although my financial papers show enough money using which i can easily book hostels, but i wanted to keep my itiniary open.
i attached my ticket to London from paris stating that i will be leaving the schengen region.
i have shown my 6 month bank account statements and investment details and property papers
My fathers sponsorship letter
bonafide student letter from college
letter from my relatives in the UK.

By when can i expect a reply? my flight is for 10th April. i worried that if even it is rejected i should get enough time to re apply before my flight.

Thanks.

Hi, One of my friend is applying for a France Visa through his company for a business visa. However his US B1 Visa is rejected just a month ago with the reason 214(b). Will there be any impact on France Visa application?

The problem is that he admitted that some of his work experience is fake as they found that work experience is not matching in their records. Please help as he is really worried and he wanted to be honest during the interview.

Hello. I am an Iranian Phd student in the us. My sister is going to go to Germany for a short business trip. I am really willing to go there and visit her for one week. I heard that in some cases, we can send our passport to embassy for visa process. Or I should get a appointment and do the process in person ??

I think the German consulate in dubai is the worst consulate i have ever seen in my life, as in they too proud to respect mankind. Seeking a tourist visa I had a racist and repelling encounter from the German Consulate in Dubai..They are treating middle class third country citizens like a shit. They refused our visa twice just for 4 days visa even after submitting all the documents required by their policy while other country citizens are collecting their visa for the whole family for 15 and 20 people together without any problem but for us its a nightmare and they don't give a damn even if all the documents are perfect. Our first refusal letter states (You have not provided proof of sufficient means of subsistence) as the reason for our visa refusal as we have submitted only salary pre pay account statement and they requested for personal account.

Then we opened a personal bank account and applied again showing more than 5500 Euro as total but this time they refused it showing 2 reasons. Ohh god C'mon how is that possible when the documents we submitted are the same documents which we submitted in the first application and it was only one reason in the first refusal letter (Sufficient funds) and now after including extra documents to prove sufficient funds like credit card and debit card and other bank documents with it now they are showing 2 reasons.. It is so disappointing and sad to know how middle class third country citizens like us are treated in european consulate like this. If you have required balance then you must have a personal account and if you have that then it must be a current account not saving account and if you have that too then it must be older than 3 months and even if that’s ok then they will find some other reason to refuse your visa. I can understand this for long stay visa or 2 months visa but I don’t understand why I have been refused twice for just 4 days.. No tourist website in this world is showing that only people who has personal bank account older than 3 months can go for tourism no never. They didn’t give me a call or message asking for any extra documents either, they refused it just like that and we wrote a cover letter with the second application to the consulate stating that apart from all this documents and proofs if you are not satisfied yet then please give us a call and we can deposit some extra amount in the consulate as a proof of sufficient means of subsistence like in many consulates a security amount may be deposited in cash just for the purpose of presenting the equivalent of the requested means of subsistence to the consulate and the cash will be refunded once the applicant is back on the mentioned date but this german consulate people are not even bothering about this , they are not even allowing applicant’s near the consulate as they are not even humans and they are not even accepting security deposit apart from all this documents for just 4 days, no call no message nothing they just refused it just like that. Now this 2 refusal stamp in the passport will affect our future to get visa for any other european countries. The intention behind this Proof of sufficient means of sustenance is to just make it sure that applicant have enough sufficient fund to afford themselves during the stay and the means of subsistence for the intended stay shall be assessed in accordance with the duration of the stay and by reference to average prices in the Schengen State multiplied by the number of days stayed, on the basis of the reference amounts set by the Schengen States in accordance . I was showing more than 5500 euro for 4 days and they refused it by adding an another new reason for refusal. I didn’t chose to be born in a certain country or race so you have no rights to discriminate us for what we are. Many other country citizens have access to more than 168 countires without visa and people like us are going through depressing and difficult procedures like this just to get a tourist visa. To apply for a visa you are asking for Hotel, Flight confirmation and we paid and confirmed it and if we didn’t submit extra bookings for local tours inside the country or other entertainment tickets you people either will say (Justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not reliable) or (A justification for the purpose and conditions of the intended stay was not provided) so we are forced to book other local tickets or to buy other local tour tickets and entertainment tickets to prove our purpose of stay and after all this you people are refusing it just like that without even giving a call or message requiring any extra documents. Consulate people are not understanding how hard it is to submit a visa application after getting the company letter, statement, this and that and submitting this documents to the consulate is an another nightmare as we have to wait in VFS global for more than 6 hours in a rush queue and have to take a day off from the work and after all this getting refused just like that. We are not asking for citizenship, its just a tourist visa. Our overall cost for this trip is already paid including round trip air tickets, lodging, food, tour and guide, domestic travel inside germany all which is non –refundable and now we cant get that money back and we lost all our money because of this. It's so frustrating and disappointing.

Hi, I hold a British citizen "Spouse Leave to Remain Residence Permit" card. Me and my husband would like to visit Germany and France. He does not need visa since he is a British citizen but as a spouse do I need a visa for a short visit? in the below links it says : You DO NOT need a visa for short stays in Germany if you are: --- a partner (married or civil partnership) or child of an EU/EEA/EFTA national if you hold a British "Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National" or a "Permanent Residence Card" - and only if you are travelling together with the EU/EEA/EFTA national The foreign spouse of a EU national (except French national) may enter France without visa if holding :  --- A valid UK residence permit with the endorsement "family member of EEA national" (this endorsement is compulsory to be visa exempted) ; I really need advice on this subject, if you have any experience like that, please do share. Thank you
