These are the common Schengen rules and they hold whichever consulate decides. The document list and the appointment depend on the consulate, and a per-country route does not exist yet.

We are checking this route's requirements against primary sources. Until the rule package is published, we do not accept applications for it.

Four steps

How it works

1. 1

   Say where and when

   The destination and your dates. Nothing else yet.

2. 2

   We check the requirements

   Every requirement against its primary source, with what to do where something fails.

3. 3

   You hand over documents

   Photograph or upload them. We say what is unreadable and why.

4. 4

   One signature

   You confirm the prepared package. One signature instead of ten decisions.

Documents

5 documents always required

Some requirements depend on your answers, so the final list is shorter for some people.

What gets a route refused

Each requirement carries the rule it is checked against and what to do when it fails — so a problem is named before submission, not after.

How we verified this page

Every number above either carries its primary source or is marked unconfirmed. Sources are re-read every morning, and a change raises a task for a reviewer.
