QnA Schengen Visa
What documents do I need for a Schengen visa?
Outbound Team
While requirements can vary slightly by embassy, most Schengen countries ask for the following:
1. Visa application form – fully completed and signed.
2. Valid passport – at least 3 months beyond your planned stay, with 2 blank pages.
3. Recent passport photos – usually two, following Schengen photo standards.
4. Travel itinerary – confirmed flight bookings (round trip).
5. Proof of accommodation – hotel reservations or invitation letter if staying with friends/family.
6. Travel insurance – minimum coverage of €30,000 for medical emergencies, valid across the Schengen area.
7. Proof of funds – recent bank statements or income documents to show you can support your trip.
8. Employment or study documents – such as a letter from your employer or school.
9. Cover letter – explaining your purpose of travel and planned itinerary.
Some embassies may request extra documents depending on your situation (e.g., minors, self-employed applicants, or special travel purposes).
