How much is the Schengen visa fee for German, French and Italian rabbits?

Although the visa fee of 60 euros and the additional insurance premium are the same in the five countries, the service fee, time cost and other factors also cause the difference in the overall expenditure of visa application.

France

The Consular Section of the French Embassy has adjusted the new policy and simplified the application procedures for short-term visas, so the processing time for Schengen visas in France is significantly shorter than that in other Schengen countries. The new highlights of visas to France include the following aspects: accepting visa applications within 48 hours from the date of submission of materials, 8 days less than before; China tourists can freely choose their visa locations in six designated cities, and the restrictions on consular areas will be lifted; Other materials need not be translated except for the work certificate which needs to be translated into English or French; The French Embassy will issue more multiple-entry visas and extend the validity of visas for frequent visitors to France to five years.

Germany

Previously, Germany, which had difficulty in obtaining visas in Europe, also implemented new measures. The Schengen visa can be obtained within 3 working days at the earliest, and there is no need for extra urgent fees. At the same time, the application materials can be submitted by agency or mail, and the applicant does not need an interview. In addition, multiple travelers or reputable tourists can apply for a German visa valid for one year or more.

Italy

Italian has always been the first choice for tourists from China in Schengen. Now applicants can generally get a visa within 5 days, and applicants who have obtained and used Schengen visas can also be exempted from trial interviews. For applicants who apply for the first Schengen visa, they can apply for cancellation of the interview by submitting materials through relevant qualified institutions. From April this year 1 1, applicants can also choose to submit their visa applications at the nearest Italian visa application center, instead of relying on their hukou or temporary residence permit.

As a limitation.

Northern Europe

Schengen work in northern Europe generally takes a long time. It is recommended to choose Norway or Finland to apply. Choosing Norway to apply for a Schengen visa usually takes 7~ 10 days, which is shorter than other Nordic countries 15 days. At the same time, when submitting in the visa application center, the applicant can order express delivery service or SMS service and send the visa application status to the applicant's mobile phone.

Due to the short opening time of individual visa in Finland, the number of applicants is small and the efficiency is high. The processing time is usually 10 days, and sometimes it can be obtained in five days. At the same time, because you apply directly to the embassy, you don't need any service fee.

In addition, if you are a visa applicant who often goes to Denmark for business activities, the Danish Consulate has set up a "red carpet plan" to provide simplified visa services, and you can get multiple-entry visas for at least one year and sign them on the 3rd.

Belgium

The Belgian Immigration Bureau is the only official institution that has the right to issue short-term and long-term residence visas. The Belgian Schengen visa requires the applicant to submit complete application materials, and the Belgian consulate will be responsible for submitting the materials to the above-mentioned institutions for approval. There are three visa centers in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and different visa centers have different jurisdictions. In addition, the Schengen visa in Belgium requires the following documents: application form, resident ID card, identity in Schengen country, bank account list, travel documents, hotel reservation certificate, travel insurance policy and round-trip air ticket. This is also the basic condition of the Schengen visa acquisition standard in Belgium. Be sure to note that the household registration book, ID card and deposit certificate must be original.

Switzerland is not a Schengen country.
