The experts put together a detailed manual.
Since September 12, the procedure for obtaining Schengen visas for Russian tourists has changed. Because of the stricter conditions, it becomes problematic to plan a vacation.
However, for those who want to go abroad, experts have compiled an information guide.
Not all countries will accept Schengen documents. Now the following countries accept applications from Russian tourists: Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Finland, Malta and Sweden, Portugal, Greece, Hungary and Austria.
Entry in the visa center should be within 15 to 45 working days before the expected date of departure. If these deadlines are not met, the documents may not be accepted at all.
The document package also involves more papers, so it is necessary to pay maximum attention to it. There should be all receipts, statements and data about the reservation and the itinerary. If there is a missing document, the package is incomplete, and you will also be refused further consideration of the documents.
You should also take into consideration the fact that if you refuse the visa fee, which is now 4800 rubles, no one will return.
In the case of a successful review of documents a visa is more likely to be issued only for the period of time, which is assumed by the trip itself.
Real experience of tourists shows that if the Schengen was not previously issued, it may also be grounds for refusal due to insufficient conviction of the purpose of the trip.
