HOW TO OBTAIN A VISA Schengen?

The administrative procedures to obtain a Schengen visa may vary embassies or consulates.
So we hereby inform you the main formalities.

- Supporting a Schengen insurance valid in all countries of the Schengen area,
- Guarantees of repatriation to the country of residence (return ticket or sufficient personal resources to acquire it)
- Any document to convince the consular authority of the intention to leave the Schengen area at the expiration of the visa.
