This is a general checklist — exact requirements vary slightly by consulate. Your coordinator confirms the specific document set for your chosen destination.

Common Refusal Reasons

What Trips Up Schengen Visa Applications

  1. Applying to the wrong consulate — filing with a country that isn't your main destination or first point of entry.
  2. Vague or generic cover letters — letters that don't clearly connect the itinerary, funding, and purpose of travel.
  3. Inconsistent itinerary and accommodation — booking dates that don't match the stated travel dates.
  4. Insufficient or unclear financial evidence — funds that don't obviously cover the full trip cost.
Frequently Asked Questions

Schengen Visa — Common Questions

Which Schengen country should I apply to from Bangladesh?

You apply to the consulate of your main destination — the country where you'll spend the most nights. If your time is evenly split, you apply to the country you enter first. Applying to the wrong consulate is a common, avoidable filing error.

What should a Schengen visa cover letter include?

A strong cover letter clearly states your purpose of travel, exact itinerary, who's funding the trip, and your ties to Bangladesh — written as a coherent explanation, not just a restatement of the documents attached.

Does a Schengen visa let me travel to all Schengen countries?

Yes. A Schengen visa is valid for travel across all Schengen Area member states during its validity period, regardless of which country's consulate issued it.

What insurance is required for a Schengen visa?

Travel medical insurance with a minimum coverage of €30,000, valid across the entire Schengen Area for the full duration of your trip, is a mandatory requirement.

How far in advance should I apply for a Schengen visa?

Schengen visa applications can generally be submitted up to 6 months before travel, and no later than 15 days before departure — though earlier filing gives more room to address any additional document requests.

Can THB VISA help if my Schengen visa was refused?

Yes. We review the refusal letter, identify which specific ground applies, and rebuild the itinerary, financial evidence, or cover letter to directly address it before refiling.
