Can a freelancer get a Schengen visa?

Freelancers only need to explain: 1. They have financial resources, and provide deposit certificates and other economic certificates of economic dependents; 2. There are justified reasons to need financial support; 3. Just prepare the complete air tickets and hotel orders.

It took 1 month to prepare the materials for submission. It took only four working days from the submission of materials to the final visa; Of course, if I had written this article earlier, I wouldn't have to struggle for so long. So today I will write a small white tutorial to teach you how to get a Schengen visa under so many unfavorable conditions.

I have used "bold" to deal with the places that need attention in the text!

The first step is to judge the handling country.

1. Which countries can I go to with a Schengen visa?

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, France, Germany, Italy, Greece, Spain, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Netherlands, Hungary, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Luxembourg, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Malta and Liechtenstein are Schengen member countries, so long as they apply for one of them, they can be used in the whole Schengen area.

It should be noted here that: ① EU countries are not necessarily all Schengen areas, so some EU countries need to apply for visas separately, such as Bulgaria and Romania; 2 Norway, Iceland and Switzerland belong to the Schengen area, but they are not EU countries, but they can enter the country directly with a Schengen visa; (3) A few countries, such as Cyprus, although not in the EU and Schengen area, can enter the country with a valid Schengen visa. Please search online for specific operation methods, so I won't go into details here.

The picture is not up to date and needs to be inquired.

2. Schengen visa processing national principles

If you only go to a specific Schengen country (meaning that you can only provide proof that you have been to that country when applying for a visa), you must apply for a visa from an overseas institution in this country; If you want to stay in more than one Schengen country, in principle, you must apply for a visa in embassies and consulates in China, the country with the longest stay (the main stay country) according to the submitted itinerary; If you can't determine the main country of stay, you can apply for a visa for the first country of entry.

The literal meaning is easy to understand, but the following points should be noted:

1. When calculating the number of days, it should be "at night".

For example: 65438+1 October1,enter France and rest for two nights; 65438+1set off for Germany on October 3 and rest for one night; On the evening of October 4th, 65438/KLOC-0, he left the European Union. In this way, although the days in France and Germany are the same, the time in France is longer than that in Germany, so the visa should be signed by law, not by Germany.

2. First country principle

For example, the time to go to France and Germany is exactly the same, both for two nights, so I suggest you go to the first country where you arrive. Therefore, it is still a French symbol, not a German symbol.

3. The principle of great powers

I asked the intermediary before, and they told me that in big countries like France, Germany and Italy, there are more tourists every year, so the visas are wider, while in countries like the Czech Republic, because there are fewer tourists, the checks are stricter (I heard that the Czech Republic is the most difficult to apply for all Schengen visas), and it is difficult for a population like me to come down. In short, I suggest that you give priority to such a big country when applying for a Schengen visa.

Step 2: Prepare the materials.

If I am an unemployed person with "three noes", I need a guarantor in theory, which can be my parents and spouse. This time I need my father as a guarantee (to provide funds). Of course, my situation is limited to my partners who have just graduated for a few years. I don't think the visa officer will think it is normal for a 30-year-old to ask his parents for a guarantee. The preparation materials for the unemployed can be divided into: explanations must be provided and supplemented.

Must provide

1. Passport, old passport (original): original personal passport valid for more than 6 months, with the last page of the passport signed with black charcoal pen (Chinese name) and at least 2 consecutive blank visa pages.

My passport is almost white, only a few visas to Southeast Asia, a tourist visa to Turkey, and even a visa to Britain (6 years ago). ※.

2. Photos: 2 photos with white background that meet the requirements, which need photos of nearly 6 months.

The photo can be old, but it must not be the one that appeared in the passport. Of these two photos, one is needed on the form and the other is basically a backup. ※. The photos on the French sign were collected by yourself, not provided by you.

3. Household registration book (copy): copies of all valid pages.

4. ID card (copy): copy of the front and back.

5. Father's bank flow (original): the original statement of the 6-month salary card needs to be stamped with the official seal of the bank, with a balance of at least 30,000.

This time, I used the bank account of my father's salary card, which is valid for half a month from the date of visa application. For example, apply for a visa on February 1 and apply for a bank account after February 65438+ 10/6. ※.

If the balance is insufficient, don't deposit a large sum at one time. I used the cash withdrawal function of Yu 'ebao to withdraw money into this card several times (about 8,000 yuan each time) according to the past consumption habits of this card, so that the remarks would say "cash withdrawal", which can be interpreted as purchasing wealth management products several times, and finally the balance in this card exceeded 30,000. ※. Of course, for people with "three noes" like me, the money was borrowed from others, and after providing part of the handling fee, the problem of tap water was solved.

6. Father's employment certificate (original): provide the original in Chinese and English according to the standard, and affix the official seal.

This kind of certificate is basically the easiest to provide, but it should be noted that some units will write the valid time or purpose on the certificate, and my father's unit will write the purpose of use. ※.

7. Father's business license (copy): Just provide a copy of the company's business license.

Special purpose

8. Proof of in-laws (photocopy): Proof of kinship notarized by the local notary office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Notarization of kinship is cumbersome, and it is also the most time-consuming of all proofs, which has troubled me for a whole month. ※.

The proof of in-laws needs: the household registration book (original), birth certificate (original), ID card (original of my father and me) and power of attorney (entrusted to my mother) to go to the local notary office for notarization. Prices and time vary from place to place, so it's best to call to confirm, and basically it can be expedited. ※.

After getting the notarized original, it will be certified in the offices of the foreign ministries of various provinces and cities and translated at the same time. ※ When applying for legal signature, only the single authentication of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is needed, and other countries sometimes need double authentication including consulates. I suggest you take a look. Of course, the price and the time required in different places are different, so it's best to call to confirm and basically rush it.

I heard that directly providing a copy of birth certificate can also prove kinship. I don't know if it is practical this time. If it is, it will be much more convenient. ※.

This guy took a long time!

9. Air ticket reservation form: reservation form for round-trip air tickets.

There is no need to buy it, no need to buy it, no need to buy it. If it's important to say it three times, it's a reservation. This reservation order is easy to open and can be issued before Ctrip pays. It's enough to directly provide the flight number that can be found on the same day. ※.

It's as simple as that

10. medical insurance (original): valid medical insurance in Schengen countries with a value exceeding 30,000 euros, and the original insurance policy.

1 1. Travel itinerary, hotel reservation list: travel itinerary in all dates in Schengen countries, and hotel reservation list for that night.

Travel itinerary can only use poor travel assistants (.tlscontact.com/cn2fr/login.php? Redir =% 2findex.php% 3ffg _ id% 3d350940, register by email, just fill in the form and make an appointment directly.

The appointment time for signing Sino-Chilean law in Beijing is basically two days later. To save time, I will make an appointment at 9: 30 a.m. ※. Just go directly to the visa center. The address of Beijing Zhongzhi Faqian Center is here: Unit 05, Floor 3, Block C, Qiaofufang Grassland Building, No.9 Dongdaqiao Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing (accessible from the south gate).

Visa centers have been set up in all these places except Beijing. ※. Since the Schengen visa needs to collect biometric features (fingerprints and passports) on the spot, the small partners who apply for visas need to go.

Step 4: Submit the materials

After you go in, you can basically do it step by step. If there are no special circumstances, two hours will be over. On the same day, you can go to Qiaofufang grassland to eat a Lamian Noodles and stroll around. Of course, you should pay attention to the following questions:

1. Do I need to queue up?

The delivery time I applied for was 9: 30. In fact, after that day, a group of people will enter at this time, or queue up to enter at that time. There may still be some people who have not finished processing before, and this time needs to wait.

2. What is payment and how to pay it?

Fees include visa fees (according to exchange rate changes) and visa center service fees, which can be paid by bank card and cash. Don't worry about this.

3. How long is the processing cycle and how to inquire?

Be sure to remember the registered account number, and you can check the progress of passport processing (of course, you can't find out whether it has been issued). In principle, "since 20 14 65438+ 10 27, and the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France, the acceptance period of individual short-term visa applications from French citizens to France has been shortened to 48 hours. The visa acceptance time starts from the time when the complete application materials are submitted to the visa acceptance center (except holidays and weekends). " Of course, it took me more than ten days to sign it, so I'm not sure about this.

4. How to notify the issuance of a visa and how to obtain a passport?

The visa center will inform me by text message and send me and my female ticket by text message respectively. Take a passport, which has the documents left when applying for a visa before, the original ID card and a copy of the ID card. Be sure to bring a power of attorney in addition to these materials, or you will make a trip in vain. official website (/TNA/page.php? Pid=links_downloads) can be downloaded directly.
