Most of our trip will be in France but I heard from a friend that we need not have a personal appearance in the French embassy (for our Schengen visa application) because this is our fourth time to visit Europe (since 2008). The last time was last year and we had our visa from Italy. Is is true that we need not appear personally?Thank you in advance.

Cause I cant book if its not paid. I have a print out itinerary from Etihad Airways. Is this enough? <br />I badly need a piece of advice. Thank you in advance.

The company assigned me to assist in installing the solution for two weeks. I won't receive any salary from the company in France. Do I need additional procedure aside from applying for the business visa? I got this from their requirement and I am not sure if I fall into this category.<br /><br />Attention: For stay within a French company involving a special/temporary mission, consultancy or training, the<br />host company in France has to obtain an authorisation letter from the Labor Department (Direction Régionale<br />des Entreprises, de la Concurrence, de la Consommation, du Travail et l’Emploi – DIRECCTE) prior to any visa<br />delivery.

This will be on the end of Nov or start of december.I checked the monaco websites on the net and found none. My question is if France embassy will handle the visa applicatin for monaco and if do you have a knowledge on how long is the visa processing? How long is the lead time to get an appointment if the france embassy will process?Since it we are following schedule, my worry is I will not get the visa on time? I been to several countries including Uk and US and income wise have a capacity to finance my trip. I have a good IT job in Phils and its a good proof that I will be back.themaskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284556160564187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-50332570696127137342012-10-26T19:22:53.065+08:002012-10-26T19:22:53.065+08:00Hi sir I would like to ask how long should my trav...Hi sir I would like to ask how long should my travel insurance?

They will pay for my plane tickets, food, lodging and other expenses for my 2 month stay there. They will write a letter of invitation for that and send copies of their proof of employment. However, I'm worried if my visa will be approved. I recently passed the PNLE and I'm waiting for my license which will be released next year. Will that affect anything? I am also a freelancer so I don't have a proof of employment aside from the money transfers that I receive twice a month in Cebuana lhuillier. How much money will I need in my bank account? Is 50,0000php enough for a 2 month stay if all expenses will be covered?Ronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15647147.post-17098798716073571232012-09-26T20:39:09.235+08:002012-09-26T20:39:09.235+08:00Hi ivan i just want to ask in your case how was yo...Hi ivan i just want to ask in your case how was your application of visa in jakarta?
