Hello! Thank you for such a comprehensive video. I have few questions, hope you answer them. 1.) If I want to travel Italy, but since it's hard to get, I get my Schengen visa from Portugal. So, is it possible that after getting my Schengen visa, I cancel prebooked transport and accommodation and instead enter from Italy since I have a Schengen visa now? 2.) Where do you suggest we book our fully refundable transportation from since it's easy to get fully refundable accommodation but not flights. Thanks in advance.
Hi, thank you. It is mandatory to first enter the Schengen country that granted you the visa, and then you can continue your trip into any country of your choice. I looked at the flights offered by Ryan Air, EasyJet, and other budget airlines.
Hi rakhi, one more question, I always get confused with accommodation part. We have to fill about hotel accommodation at the initial stage right? But we do hotel booking just before going to appointment day. Can you explain it please. Another where can get travel insurance? Thank you.
Depends on application process. For some countries you apply using a physical form on the appointment day, in that case you can use the booking made a day earlier. But if application needs to be submitted online, you have to complete hotel booking prior to appointment date For insurance we used www.coverwise.co.uk/
You said we need to show vfs the accomodation and flight proof. So does it mean before getting our visa approval we have to book flights and accommodation to show as a proof? Thankyou
Please check all required documents as part of the application process. You need documents from your university, check embassy website for more details
Hi, I submitted both payslip and bank statement to strengthen my application and to prevent rejection. Keeping these both will give a lot of power to your application.

Is it compulsory for me to visit the 3 countries in one trip? Because, I want to visit Greece and will like to visit Germany and Portugal in the next 2 to 3 months. Is it okay for me to add them during my application or since it’s not the same trip, it’s not appropriate to add them.
It is not compulsory. You can apply for Schengen with the Greece embassy. You can mention your plan to visit other Schengen countries and request a multiple entry visa.
Hi there, I’m planning to apply for a Schengen visa for Portugal, and I have a question about the duration of the visa they grant. If I submit a plan for a one-week trip along with flight tickets, will they issue the visa just for one week, or is it possible to receive it for up to 90 days?
Hi, thank you for your question. I did not go through any travel organisation for my trips in the Schengen countries, so I will not be able to recommend them to you. Have a good holiday!
Hi, I want to go Prague and Amsterdam this December. So where do I get this application form and do I need to submit this application form with other details ( flight, Accomadation etc) anywhere on the website or should I directly take an appointment and go there with all these docs?

You have the option to appeal. This will take up to 12 weeks for processing. If not, you can start another fresh application and submit all required documents and information.

Hi, Visa duration that you get depend on various factors like first time applicant?, embassy applying to? etc.
I probably know I won’t be getting reply but even if I get the visa, from the UK, which travel organisation would you recommend?
Hi, thank you for your question. I did not go through any travel organisation for my trips in the Schengen countries, so I will not be able to recommend them to you. Have a good holiday!
@@rakhiikrishna well looking forward to a vlog for that part from your end😄

Hi sis number 18 did you put your brp card expired date or your actual visa expired date. Coz my brp card expired in December but my visa expired in 2027 .please let me know. Urgent. Thank you
You can give the December 2024 expiry and mention in cover letter that you had permission to remain until 2027.

I believe each application needs to be separate. Please check embassy website for more details.
How do we book specifically refundable flight tickets bcoz most of places it dosent show such options
Sorry if I mentioned refundable tickets in video. You dont have the option to book that.

Hi, how can I bring my husband to Europe who has a Pakistani passport but I am British?
Hi, He can apply for Schengen visa if for tourist purposes.
How to connect with you ?
Hi @rakhiikrishna may I clarify if I need to put in my current UK home address or the address on my passport? 5:03
Hi, you need to enter your current UK address.
Hi, can you please share which sites you used to book refundable flight tickets?
Hi, Apologies for the confusion. What I meant was refundable stays, flight tickets on budget airline are mostly non-refundable.
Refundable tickets are available directly on airlines website . Generally they are 4-5k costly over the non Refundable ones .
@@rakhiikrishna Okayyyy 👍🏼Thanks for clarifying 😀

Application form of each country in Schengen is different and can be accessed from the VFS website or googling for the respective application form.
Do you know what we can do if a visa gets rejected ?
I am not too sure. Did you get a reason for rejection from the office ? Is there something you feel like you have missed out in comparison to what I have mentioned in my video ?
@@rakhiikrishna Yes. My hotel booking got cancelled. This was the reason.
You have the option to appeal. This will take up to 12 weeks for processing.
If not, you can start another fresh application and submit all required documents and information.
@@rakhiikrishna ok. Thank you.
@@rakhiikrishna Is there a specific time that I should wait for before applying
What if I haven’t booked any hotel yet?
You need to submit your hotel booking details in the application. Visa gets rejected otherwise.
Book then park not safe
