[QUOTE="NoQ, post: 303132"] For Philippine citizens (and no doubt others of certain nationality) not residing in Europe, the visa situation is a total pain. I've just submitted another application for my wife (Philippine citizen) for a tourist visa and this is what the embassy in HK requested (after sending us back for more documents than we initially brought with us)... 1. A completed visa application form. 2. A recent passport photo with a light background. 3. Passport, plus passport copy and copies of old passports with previous schengen visas. The old passports also had to shown, but were not kept. 4. Passport copy of husband if European. 5. ID card and copy. (ID card returned) 6. ID card of husband and copy. (ID card returned) 7. Insurance policy. In spite of having a good worldwide BUPA policy, they wanted a specific policy for Schengen visa so we bought an AXA policy. 8. Bank statements for last 6 months. 9. Husband's bank statements for last six months if husband is paying for visit. 10. Copies of travel reservations (we submitted return flight details to / from Madrid, Alsa bus ticket from Madrid, and flight ticket from SdC to Madrid). 11. Copy of contract of employment, with full salary details (or if a housewife a copy of husband's employment contract). 12. Copy of tenancy agreement. 13. A letter detailing reasons for visit and explaining who will pay all costs. 14. A full itinerary, including complete reservations. 15. Marriage certificate plus copy. Vias fee - Free (!) if husband / wife is European. Point number 14 took ages to work out, but we did it by using booking.com and writing to places where there was no online booking agency. It holds you to an itinerary, which is kind of the antithesis of the Camino, but at least it means you can take it easy over stages and know a bed has been reserved / paid for already. We are going to stay in hostales this summer Camino anyway, but most of the places on booking.com can be cancelled in advance once the visa has been issued. Though I'm not sure as to the ethics of this one. So basically, it's a complete pain and takes absolutely ages to sort out and we are seriously considering petitioning the pilgrim office in SdC to issue a special certificate for those of us that have to go through all this bureaucracy and have actually succeeded.
