Snowy Vienna, Austria

The challenge started since I got to get a Schengen visa to Austria. Some of you may already knew, but for those who don't know and you are in Singapore, you must visit The Royal Embassy of France for Schengen visa application. Here are some tips.


1. Book your time online via http://www.ambafrance-sg.org/spip.php?rubrique2
2. Prepare all required documents such as:
     - Passport with 6 months validity and 1 photo copy of your passport
     - 1 passport-size photo
     - Schengen visa application form
     - Travel Itinarary, or ticket confirmation. Any evidences show that you will come back to Singapore.
     - 1 copy of your identity card
     - Travel insurance indicates with area coverage, date of coverage, and everything many as possible.
     - Letter of Employment
     - Invitation letter, in case that you're going there for business.
     - Copy of your bank statement, bank book.
     - etc.
3. Be there before time, otherwise you will have to re-book your time again if you are late.
4. Visa application fee SGD107 (estimated), but they accept VISA and Master, don't worry.
5. Visa process takes about 5-7 days to few weeks depends on your nationality and your documents.
Just visit Embassy website or Google it for more information.
