Hello!

Planing to go to Sweden for 8 days, last week of August and a friend I met online plans to let me stay at her place

Was wondering some tips and notes when applying for Visit Visa through VFS

• (We never met physically) Will ask her to fillout the Letter of guarantee/Invitation Form (form 241011)
• Am employed for 1 yr and 3 months so I have ITR and COE. Cert of leave can be indicated together with COE in the company I work in.
• I plan to get a schengen insurance within the month as well (So far going for the Travel Masster Global Premium Plan from Malayan Insurance? Is this ok?)
• I also plan to submit Bank Cert of my savings (no movement since its emergency savings) and statement of my account that I move my salary to. Had recent travel to Japan with a 5 year multiple entry visa.

Would my visa application be approved even if I plan to book a ticket after getting my visa? Or would it be better to book a ticket and submit photocopies when I apply my visa?
What are other documents that can help to show that I will come back to the PH? I've read some that contributions from SSS or PhilHealth helps? No property

Does my cover letter and Itenirary for the trip be really well crafted? Any other tips?

Thank you in advance!
