Indian passport ki izzat ka sawaal tha sir 🙌

@@lavanyasharma798 Maasi 🤩

@@dharmeshgandhi9160 right sir ✅ but Final Destination = country in which you'll spend majority days of your Schengen area trip (on paper). If EU wouldn't have been avenging against Indian tourists in the post Russia-Ukraine War world, they would've opened appointment slots in a lot more countries (other than Slovakia for East Europe)

@@niaz.shovon Appreciate your feedback 🙏

@@AlickSengupta It’s not that simple :) How do the Airport officials know in advance we will not travel to the country that gave us Schengen visa (Slovakia)? We had all the bus, hotel bookings to show we will be traveling to Slovakia! And landing directly into Slovakia is not possible from New Delhi - at least 2 places one had to change flights (last year). Problem was of weird restrictions imposed by Europe after Covid & esp from transit hubs like DXB to silently punish Indians after the Russia-Ukraine war Unavailable Visa appointment Slots from Indian cities is a similar punishment by Europe (for siding with Russia)

@@sachinagrawal3649 In the arrival area of the transit, there are hardly any airports having Lounges. But in the transit departure area, you will find Lounges that you can use (without requiring transit visa) at major international airports 👍 Although in our case, we just weren't in that mental state while transiting from T2 to T1 to T3 of Dubai - trying to find the right flight to Budapest / Prague / Belgrade

@@arshdeepjoshi2305 no direct flights from New Delhi to Bratislava (Slovakia) or Budapest (Hungary)

Valid points boss 👍👍

Schengen Visa toh tha na! Delhi - Dubai - Paris ki flight ke liye UAE visa nahi chahiye hota na bhai- if not exiting the airport

@@Stories2Tell_UAE visa is required for collecting luggage

@@Vitchu911 right ✅. had assumed at that time it won't be required if other flight from same terminal 🥲

Appreciate you taking time out to comment :) Just meant to say that Europe has had it quite easy over the last few decades in terms of working hours

appreciate your empathy 🙏 yes, it was a harrowing experience indeed

The on-paper itinerary (with booking proofs) had Slovakia only as the country where max days of the trip were to be spent. That's why & how the Schengen visa grant was made possible from Slovakia in the 1st place (at a time when no other country's Schengen visa appointment was open). BUT the Dubai airport folks didn't acknowledge any of it. They only wanted visa to be granted from the country of 1st landing I.e. Hungary. THIS wouldn't have happened if there was no PNR break in Dubai & the Delhi - Middle East - Budapest (Hungary) flight would've been on the same PNR!

Why won't you think to travel to Slovakia.you suffered alot but didn't travel to Slovakia directly who gave U visa.isnt it weird? You searched which country is Visa free for you and then travel to Serbia but not Slovakia why why why? I think it's all a fictitious story to make a v log???

@@temoorzafar1 because it is so difficult to travel to Bratislava (Slovakia) from New Delhi - one has to hop airports at minimum 2 places if one wants to reach within a certain airfare budget. If you take just 1 layover, it is extremely expensive. Tourists from Asia do this all the time - e.g. get Schengen from Switzerland, but travel to Italy / Greece / Germany instead

Ordeal continues for so many, even 2 summers later:- www.news18.com/amp/viral/delhi-man-loses-rs-3-5-lakh-after-schengen-visa-for-greece-holiday-denied-8875497.html

all valid points made by you 🙌💯

Yes, that was what i was told too - and had experienced myself in 2019. But by 2022, if you're landing into EU from a hub like DXB (after coming to Dubai from your home country, without a UAE visa)- it had become a problem indeed that your port of EU entry is different from Visa issuing Schengen country...

It can happen. It's just bad luck. I just travelled to Spain but got my visa issued from belgium embassy. I didn't face any issue. On top I didn't even go to belgium on this trip. That's why it's SCHENGEN state. You can travel freely anywhere in the schengen state.

@@sahilpandir3586 as it rightly should be 👏👏 Hope you had fun in Spain!! Visa delays season here though now - May - June

thank you sir for the wishes & blessing 🙏

Bhai, bas 2-3 baaton ka extra dhyaan rakhiye - dikkat nahi aaega 1. Kaafi advance mein Visa apply kijiye - so that you get Schengen from same country in which you will be landing 2. Beech mein Airlines mat change kijiye - ek hi PNR no. pe jaane ka flight karaiye (even if flight mein beech mein ek hopping ho, but single PNR pe jaane ka flight ho) 3. Visa agar Multi-entry mil jae, toh aur bhi accha

Appreciate you taking time out for a detailed comment to enrich the community😊 But back in April, May 2022 - immediately after the start of Russia Ukraine War & the first summer holidays post the '20 & '21 washout Covid years - there were actually NO vida slots available for any other Schengen countries!! Traveling to East Europe was coming out to be far more expensive than even West Europe (in the context of global happenings of 2022) - Wizz Air offered good budget travel option. But yea, never travel by Wizz Air. But above all, yes, it was a mistake to incorrectly assume no visa would be required to just move from the Arrival section of the same terminal in DXB to Departure of that same terminal in DXB!

Yes, if the applicant's profile is OK & you have ticked the right box (of Multi Entry option) in the application/form

@@Stories2Tell_ bro i thought ki getting multi entry visa is harder than single

@@neerajyadav6361 yes slightly harder; not significantly harder

Mashallah, kya khoob baat kahi aapne!

Yes - Exit stamp from Serbia & Entry stamp for Hungary (EU)

​@@Stories2Tell_as An African coming for a conference, can i visit relatives in Germany with my Serbian visa

@@michaelowusu7827 No brother. You will require a Schengen visa to go to Germany from Serbia. There are some agents around the Belgrade Central Bus Station who could arrange not-legal passage to EU. But won't recommend that - you may lose money & still not get through

@@Stories2Tell_ but can u get a Schengen visa from Serbia on arrival

@@michaelowusu7827 On Arrival, not possible - because Serbia is not part of the EU. But once in Serbia, you can apply for the Schengen Visa to visit Germany by going to the Visa Application Office of VFS Global in Belgrade - might take upto 4 days to get stamped on your passport

Sir, ye Wizz Air airline in particular kaafi haraami hai.. aisa pata chala later from travelers in Dubai, East Europe

No need to worry sir in your case! Multiple Entry Schengen Visa gives you all the flexibility that you mentioned (within the stipulated visa validity duration)

arrey Schengen Visa lene ke liye bhi pehle ticket book karni padti hai sir

Thanks sir! The problem is that the South Asian passports don't hold much value across Western world

You are good to Go. When is your flight?

Did you face any issues in Munich as this was your point of entry into Schengen and not Vienna?

PR card of Greece is sufficient for EU 👍 Passport not required ideally - but one can never be 100% confident about these Border Control /Immigration Officials in EU

Learnt it the hard way sir! Things weren't this strict / unnecessarily hard before 2020

absolutely right sir! lesson learnt the hard way

They (Wizz Air) finally offered a refund that amounted to only INR 1300/-. I spat it back on their shameless faces.. don't need that. Will never travel with them again - and forever discourage any traveler from doing so!

@@Stories2Tell_ That’s like rubbing salt on wounds. Right decision on your part to not accept such a pity offer. I wish there were an easy way to book such airlines carriers in a court of law and made to be compensated appropriately. The compensation shouldn’t be less than at least 5 times the financial loss to account for the mental harassment as well. Otherwise, they will keep doing the same thing and get away with it.

@@rahuldwivedi4758 appreciate your empathy & unequivocal stand on the matter 🙏😊

Schengen is mostly issuing Single-entry visas lately - to those in their 30s traveling with spouse & kid(s)

this entire visa thing makes me so sad... it's been YEARS that I've been delaying my adventure because of nonsensical fears, meanwhile the rules keep changing and getting worse... you can clearly see that all this is a targeted attempt at keeping "the filthy poor" out of their territory

and another question... once I'm inside the territory and I simply stay there, will I be able to find other people that stayed too? without documents... will I be able to meet others and perhaps share accomodation, talk about jobs etc... my plan is to start a small food business, it's like 3-in-1 what I plan to do, but all sales in cash, direct sales, no papers

I'm starting to question if I spend my savings for last 5 years on this plan, when I could pretty much do the same in my country... it's more about the adventure I guess... and higher risks meaning potential for higher rewards earning in Euro, not devalued broken currency.... what would you do?

So those of us who came to Serbia on conference visa, can we visit EU countries before going back , at least to see few friends around
