Schengen Visa Guide by Radhika Nomllers

Description

Hi there!

If you have been following me on Instagram, you would know my Schengen visa got rejected twice! (once by France and once by Switzerland). But as a travel content creator, I could not let that hamper my travel plans to Europe. It took me time but I figured out hacks for the success it requires.

I’m creating this guide on Schengen visas because the process can be confusing, with so many documents and little guidance. Mistakes in submissions often lead to visa rejections! But with three Schengen visas successfully obtained afterward, I’ve learned the insider tips to boost your chances of approval. My guide will show you how to structure your application, including a sample cover letter, so you can avoid the small errors I made and navigate the process smoothly.
