There is still a certain degree of difficulty in handling the Schengen visa for free travel in France. You need to prepare a lot of materials and certificates, as well as relevant certificates. The handling process is actually not complicated, but you can still save money if you operate correctly. Here are the detailed handling processes and strategies for you.
The success of a general visa depends entirely on the visa officer. Even if the information is well prepared, it cannot be guaranteed to pass 1%. Everything we do is to convince the visa officer that we are going to appreciate the great rivers and mountains of other countries and will return to China.
applicant's information
1. When the husband and wife (on-the-job)
and her husband were traveling independently for the first time, their passports were blank and materials were missing
2. Married woman (on-the-job)
I have had a record of crossing the border in France, but this time my husband didn't go, and the materials prepared were almost the same as last time
3. The child
It's the first time to go out. Therefore, as long as my visa has passed, she will generally pass
4. Retirees
My mother has an exit record in Europe, but my father-in-law only has a visa in Thailand, and what is needed is that the European and American records are relatively easy to sign, so whether their visas can pass or not is drum-beating.
tips: Whether to find an agent depends on your own situation. I didn't find the first application because I was working in one capacity. I found it for the second time. After all, Eva and retirees have to open all kinds of proof materials for fear of omission.
The agent's role is not to help you prepare the materials. His role is to help you review the list of materials in the early stage. Some of them will send insurance, prepare "fake" air tickets and travel itinerary for you, and finally help you make an appointment for signing and filling out the form. You just need to prepare the materials according to the list and send them to the embassy for signing. For the first time, you have to go to the embassy to send the signature for fingerprints. If it is the second time, it will be directly signed online.
List of materials
Each person should prepare an file bag for the following materials, arrange them in order, and print or copy them on A4 paper! If you don't understand, you can turn down and have a corresponding explanation.

This is my biggest headache, but I need to apply for a minor visa to go abroad. If the wife takes care of the baby, it is necessary to prove that the baby belongs to both husband and wife, and the husband needs to agree that the wife takes the baby out. Husband and wife need to run three places. The police station, notary office and foreign affairs office, especially this foreign affairs office, didn't know what it was before. !
working procedure: first, call the notary office to ask about the working hours and materials to be prepared in advance-go to the police station to copy the sidebar of the birth certificate-go to the notary office for notarization-go to the foreign affairs office for certification, and the whole process will cost about 1 yuan. If the visa is not passed, the money will be wasted.
police station: go to the police station where the child's household registration is located, copy the sidebar of the birth certificate and stamp it
Notary office: I went to the notary office in donghu district, and asked a notary to explain that I need to apply for a notarial certificate and translate it. They have expense details and forms there, and they are very friendly and smooth.
Address: 8th Floor, Zhitong Plaza, No.37 Fuzhou Road, donghu district, Nanchang
Foreign Affairs Office (Jiangxi Foreign Affairs and Overseas Chinese Affairs Office), where notarized relatives certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are also entrusted. As there is no Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanchang, it needs to be mailed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for certification.
Address: There is a small door next to No.157 Supu Road, donghu district, Nanchang City. It can be expedited if you bring the materials directly, and you need to add money.

Because my mother retired for a long time, she didn't have this thing at all. Fortunately, the original unit is still there, so she went back to the original unit to get a retirement certificate.
if you don't have a certificate, you can also buy a certificate and go to the original unit to handle it.

It is best to provide my own house or car property to prove that it will not be hacked abroad. If you stay abroad, you can confiscate your house, hee hee! The more you provide, the greater your credibility! The pass rate is also large! At the same time, the more money in the bank, it also proves that you can survive in China and afford to spend abroad. So those things about personal assets, as far as possible to provide.
Generally married, it's easy to sign. Singles, especially single women, who have no real estate or car products are often rejected because the visa officer will think that you are going abroad to find a husband! !

The method is much more convenient than before. If you understand it, you will have no brains to follow the steps. However, it is best to choose Guangzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai, Shenyang, Wuhan and the French embassy in China.
the first time I went to Wuhan, I signed the visa the next day, which was very quick. However, the second time, the agent made an appointment to Changsha, which is a place similar to the intermediary audit. Although it is also formal, they have to send it to Wuhan for trial, so the time is much longer.
make an appointment to go on time, and don't be late, even if you are one second late, otherwise you need to make a new appointment.
tips: all materials should be printed and copied on A4 paper, and clipped in the order I wrote them with clips. Do not use staples.
