Schengen Visa information

Are you a Sweden national or a national of any of the 25 Schengen member countries? Since Sweden is also a member of an EEA you don't need any schengen visa to enter Sweden.

If you are not a national of any of the schengen country then you will need the following documents.

Download the application form from the net. Or you can get it from the embassy.

Yes, you need a bank statement showing your salary transfer for last 6 months. You can get it from any outlet of your bank, you can find these outlets in major shopping malls like City centre, Villageo, hyatt plaza or Landmark. They will charge you QR 60 approximately for that and it will take only few mins.

Have you taken an employment letter from your employer, stating your job and the date when you will resume.

You need port to port confirm air ticket. It is a must. Also you have to show the insurance documents.

Submit original passport with one photo copy of the same along with the invitation letter from your sponsor from Sweden and all details like their address and passport copy.

Schengen visa processing takes about 3 working days if all the documents are in order.

Time for submission of the application is 9 to 11 am. Visa fees is QR 280 approximately and you have to pay it in cash.

All the best!!!

Fo tracking only. thanks guys for the info.

SamyaUk I hold an Indian passport. I shall check about submitting the itinery here with the embassy.

Thanks a lot for the help.

take care

In the embassies in the UK they wouldnt proceed with an application with an itinery. You can even make one up yourself just a rough idea of where your going and the duration of each stay. But again i dont know how strict they are on that. The embassies in London were very strict on the itinery, and also about being able to provide means of funds. But just try to roughly make a plan, what passport do u hold? if u dont mind me asking, i know if its S.African then Good luck :D

Thank You Very Much For The Kind Information You Provided To Our fellow Member Shraddhay here. And i Hope You Dont Charge Him With Any Fees Thank you for Your Corporation :D

samayuk thanks for the info.. as from the information i received the rules are the same here as well.I am planning a backpack trip n not through some tours so I wont be having a sketched itinery. Would they be convinced?

Oh and make sure whichever embassy you apply at you actually visit that country. So many people in the UK applied at the French embassy because its so much easier but they never actually visited France... If you do that then the next time u apply for a Schengen they wont give you one. They always check the stamps in your passport against any old visa's so be careful. Mind you some people get away with it, but they are becoming alot stricter.

I worked in the Visa & Passport Office (CIBT) in London and our rules for applying for a Schengen was you have to apply at the embassy of the country you will spending most of your time in. So for instance... Your going to France 2 days, Germany 2 days and Spain 5 days, in that order, you would have to apply at the Spanish embassy. They usually check that from your itinery. This is the Rule in the UK im not sure if its the same here.

No Charmed, as far as I know the UK is outside the Schengen visa scheme

no Schengen visa doesnt include UK. You will have to arrange for the UK visa separately. You can get more info n forms on http://www.britishembassy.gov.uk/qatar

novita... thats exactly what the embassy of Italy and Netherlands told me over the phone. I guess I will go with the Italian embassy.

Thanks a lot novita. You were great help.

Any other suggestions for the trip do let me know.

shraddhay ... i cant remember what i put on the form , but the reason we did not go to Spanish embassy because there were no spanish embassy in Doha at that time. When i went to Italian embassy obviously i told them that i am going to Rome, if i said i want to go to Paris they will send me down to French Embassy.

sorry Shradday ... not much help here :-(

thanks esalvo76

which country did u mention in the schengen visa application form as ur main destination.. Spain or Italy?

Thanx!

when i applied from Italian Embassy, i went to Spain first then Rome. Immigration in Spain never asked me anything.

1. Employment Certificate

2. Original Passport

3. Health Insurance

4. Six (6) month Bank Statement showing the Salary Transfer

Goodluck...

Cheers!
