As we receive Schengen visa Spain

O_o: Services on promotion of sites on SEO doctor.

Now that we already enjoy the creations of Gaudi and warm sea in Barcelona, remember the situation obtaining a Schengen visa can be with pleasure. But when for 4 days before departure, visas are still not there, we seriously pondered on the lifting of travel or entry into the European Union through any other country. I will tell you our experience, that you were prepared and not committing our mistakes.

Briefly our air route can be described as follows: Moscow-Munich-Barcelona and then Madrid-Moscow with butt in Riga. At Munich we had planned the whole 3 days, so the Schengen rules have to be Spanish, most stay in the country. For Spanish visa required to provide the following documents:

1. application form
2. Passport
3. a copy of booking hotels
4. Insurance
5. a copy of booking air tickets
6. Help with work
7. the financial guarantee (think 56 euros per person per day)
8. a copy of all pages of the Passport
9. a copy of all pages in the internal passport

The standard list and all we had. As a ticket booking, I printed booking confirmation, which came on the SOAP. Specially for visa booked 2 hotel with free cancellation of the booking in Barcelona and Madrid. We were planning to drive around the coast of Spain and the hotels we had booked at 11 different cities, but with so many bookings tinker didn't want (when submitting documents to fill in all information for each hotel), and Consul less cares, so we resorted to such a small tricks. V.a.c. documents adopted and promised that through 10 days everything will be ready.

5 days later, early in the morning, a phone call from Visa Centre pleasant voice reported that with visa problems and a Consulate requires today send and direct tickets to Spain. Confusion has mastered us. In the head has only one option: if they ask for direct ticket, you do not want to give a Spanish national, Schengen visa, because with this visa you cannot fly interface through other countries. This variant came to us a little less than perfectly. Tickets and hotel in Munich had already been booked. When we lost a decent amount. Yes and direct flights to Spain fly mainly only Russian company "Aeroflot" and "S7" with the price of the ticket is markedly greater than that of European aviation giants from 20 thousand there and back. In General, not exactly licepriatnyj financial figures.

We was rolled by hands in your head all sorts of options and combinations, called the airlines that are redefining how is it possible to Exchange or return the already reserved tickets. Would like to even book «Aeroflot» business class and then cancel it, after obtaining a visa. Thus hope thr direct tickets have asked only to confirm our intentions, rather than instead of national visa of Schengen to give another option, which came to us in the head: cancel request to Spanish visa quickly and get the Czech. However, canceling the query poses — may be banned from entering the country. And the Czechs, by the way, issuing only a Schengen visa, national issue they cannot. Obdumyvalis? all of these options carefully, and before our departure was only 6 days.

Acknowledging the untenable options 1 July, we decided to write a letter to the Consul himself in English. It pointed out all points of our trip (without mentioning the ten cities in Spain, of course), describe places that want to visit to confirm the purpose of the travel and tourism once again made all tickets.

I, of course, guglil all the time to clarify the situation, but only at the last moment, found on the forum description of similar problems. The two girls had a similar situation — they demanded direct tickets. In the end it turned out that do not require direct tickets and the tickets themselves, and not a reservation confirmation. Specialists of the Visa Centre made a mistake in the translation, because the phrase "direct tickets" can be translated as "direct tickets" and as "directly tickets". I downloaded the same tickets with the airline sites (the same confirmation that come in the mail just a bit in another form), scored for forest importance in .PDF, added confirmation to CheckMyTrip and sent by mail. It was all 4 numbers. And 5 numbers I've received a reply by mail that issued Schengen visa valid for 1 month, which we fully satisfactory. The most interesting thing is that the date of issue was July 1, 2011 year. I.e. a visa issued before we have sent the tickets themselves.

What are the lessons I learned from this story? Better to do the Czech Visa and entry into the European Union through the Czech Republic, if there is no reserve time red tape with the embassies of other countries. Tickets arrange in .PDF, the Consul had no doubt. In here you can comfortably book any hotels and then cancel. Fit to wisely and don't repeat our mistakes.
