Step 1 of 714%

Application route

First identify whether ordinary, sponsored, facilitated or national-visa rules may apply.

What best describes the application? Planned stay length Main Schengen destination Country where applications will be lodged Travel purpose Are all applicants following the same itinerary?

Family applicant builder

Add every person applying. Categorical answers use dropdowns; names are typed for the personalised report.

Every traveller—including a baby—needs a separate application where a visa is required. The generated report separates individual, shared, sponsor and minor documents.

EU/EEA/Swiss family-member screening

This screening prevents an ordinary sponsorship checklist from being incorrectly applied to a potentially facilitated case.

Is an applicant related to an EU/EEA/Swiss citizen? EU/EEA/Swiss citizen’s nationality Relationship to that citizen Will the applicant accompany or join the EU/EEA/Swiss citizen? Is the citizen travelling to/residing in a country other than their nationality country? Does the applicant hold a valid Article 10/20 family-member residence card? Can the family relationship be documented? If dependency is required, can it be documented?

Trip, host and accommodation

Check that every application uses the same genuine trip and host information.

Planned arrival date Planned departure date Accommodation arrangement Host’s relationship to applicants Host identity and address evidence Invitation letter Country-specific accommodation/sponsorship form Are host details identical across all applications? Flight/transport reservation status Accommodation evidence for entire stay

Sponsorship and financial capacity

Map who pays, what is covered and whether the sponsor can credibly support the whole group.

Overall funding arrangement Primary sponsor relationship Sponsor country of residence Sponsor immigration status Expenses covered by sponsor Number of people financially supported by sponsor Currency for financial figures Estimated unpaid cost for the whole family trip Applicants’ combined accessible personal funds Sponsor’s accessible savings for this trip Sponsor’s monthly net income Sponsor’s monthly liabilities and major commitments Sponsor’s other financial dependants Applicant contribution is clearly allocated

Sponsor document status

Sponsor letter/undertaking Sponsor passport/identity Sponsor residence evidence Sponsor bank statements Sponsor income/employment evidence Proof of relationship to sponsor Recent large sponsor-account deposits Is sponsor supporting other concurrent visa applicants?

Shared documents and consistency

Check the family file as one connected set before reviewing each traveller.

Separate application form for every applicant Names and spellings consistent Travel dates consistent Purpose and cover-letter explanations consistent Sponsor details consistent across applications Civil-status/relationship documents Applicants’ own economic-status documents Travel medical insurance for every applicant Insurance covers identical full travel dates Required certified translations Current consulate/application-centre checklist checked Any previous refusal addressed individually?

Declaration and report

Confirm the family data before producing the personalised action plan.

Are all answers accurate to the best of your knowledge? Have all adult applicants reviewed their own information? Will you verify official requirements immediately before submission?

Do not submit altered civil-status records, temporary borrowed funds or contradictory sponsor declarations. Authenticity and consistency are assessed separately for every applicant.
