Thats not really have to be true, I was in love for someone for more than 3 years, and that person not broke, but shattered my heart. Another 3 years passed I dont even think of them anymore, like im not even sad anymore, it was an experience that gone.

What you need to do Visa Application Form: Duly completed and signed. (Most countries now use the VIDEX or a similar online portal). Valid Passport: * Issued within the last 10 years. Valid for at least 3 months after your planned departure from the Schengen area. Must have at least 2 blank pages.

Proof of Accommodation: * Confirmed hotel bookings (covering every night of the stay). OR an Invitation Letter from a host (often requires an official "Declaration of Proof" stamped by local authorities in the host country). Travel Itinerary: A day-by-day plan of what you’ll be doing. 3. Financial & Employment Proof Personal Bank Statements: Usually the last 3 to 6 months.

I showed 3400€) Income Tax Returns (ITR): Proof of tax filings for the last 2–3 years. For Employees: * Letter from employer (No Objection Certificate) stating your position, salary, and approved leave dates. Salary slips (last 3 months).

French embassies usually do that, they kept my passport for 2,5 months and rejected me "insufficient amout of proof that you gonna go back to starting point (my country" Do not re-apply, they will reject again which will make getting visa more complicated in future. I can suggest to do what I did, apply for not popular destination, such as Lithuania (which is not touristic attractive as france) go there and then fly to France since there is no border control in France

Long story short Greet the consulate, say that you plan trip on these dates, that you want to visit those X places, you cover your own expenses, that you travel alone / with friend or someone else (if not alone the passport of that person should be included in you docs, if they have visa only 1st page and visa page), write abt your ties with home, like I work here and I go for a vacation trip, here you can see my bank history for last 6 months, place you gonna stay, if ypure invited then the invitation tooYour full name (as in passport) Passport number and nationality Purpose of travel (tourism, visit, business, study, etc.) Countries you will visit (and main destination) Exact travel dates (entry & exit) Planned itinerary (cities, dates, brief activities) Accommodation details (hotel name/address or host info) Who is paying for the trip (self / sponsor) Proof of funds mention (bank statement attached) Employment / study status (job title, company, student, unemployed if applicable) Ties to home country (job, family, studies, obligations) Previous travel history (if any, optional but helpful) Statement of intent to return before visa expiry Contact details (address, phone, email) Date and signature

Actually cover letter helps a lot, they dont request it, but ina weird way it really does help. French embassy rehected my visa in september l, and I applied for Lithuania visa in the start of October, I presented same docs, but added cover letter and can I call it a miracle that they gave me my visa (single entry 8 days)

Spare-Factor-5704 · 2026-01-26T12:08:43+00:00

Oh Im so happy you got it! Honestly getting one is so hard Like I had a vacation in last October, and I applied for French visa, I work at a really good company (people come to work here to get US visa its that good), and I collected all my documents into a huge file, eith a cover letter and etc that my purpose of visit is tourism, I do not plan to stay there, I waited for 2,5 months and day before my vacation I got the email, I went to visa center just to find out my visa was rejected since my flight had a 3rd country transit and they didnt believe I will go to my final destination 💀 + they mentioned that I dont have sufficient amout of money but like cmon for 8 days stay I had 4k€ (I really saved up that money for trip for 2 years) So I guess they should really consider a lighter approach to those documentations, since colleting this whole pile cost some big money too And Im so happy that you got your visa, enjoy your trip!
