before the holiday, you waited too long ago, there are very few!And if this time you decide to go to Europe, it is time to think about the visa.Collect the documents needed for a Schengen visa in advance, because the term of its execution is between two weeks to a month.Well, during the tourist season this period of time can be much larger.
It is worth noting that in January 2013, all countries that are part of the Schengen area, introduced a single list of documents for a Schengen visa.And pluses for tourists of such an agreement are clear.Previously, each country had its own requirements to the documents on which it was possible to get permission to enter.Now, no matter where you make your way - in Germany, or, say, France - documents for Schengen visa are the same.
Requirements consulates of European countries in the past are not too different, but this approach saves tourists from finding the nuances of obtaining visas in one or another European country.For example, earlier for entry into some states require an export permit for the child, notarized and signed by both parents, while others would need only securities with hotel reservation and to obtain a visa in third countries, necessarily need to pay in advance.
So now consulate tourists need to provide the following documents for a Schengen visa:
- agreed statement forms that must be filled and signed by the hand of the applicant.Thus for the minor children of his parents or guardians fill.
- passport.Do not forget that the timing of his actions have remained the same - it should be valid for three months after you return home.It also must have at least two blank pages.
- Two tourist photos that must necessarily meet all the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization.
- copy of a Russian passport.
- Medical travel insurance.Moreover, its validity period should last until the end of the trip, it must cover the cost of everything that can be in the provision of emergency assistance, and to act in all the Schengen countries.

- Confirmation planned tourist route.They can be booked tickets or travel voucher.If not, then you are again prompted for a written description of your plans.
