Who We Are
SchengenVisaSupport.com is an independent information resource dedicated to helping travelers navigate the Schengen visa process. We are NOT:
- ❌ A visa consultancy or travel agency
- ❌ Affiliated with any embassy or government
- ❌ A visa application service
- ❌ Immigration lawyers or legal advisors
We are a team of travel enthusiasts and visa experts who have personally navigated the Schengen application process multiple times. Our experience - including successful and rejected applications - has taught us what works, what doesn't, and what embassies truly look for.
Why We Created This Site
The Schengen visa process affects millions of travelers every year, yet official information is often:
- Scattered across 27 different country embassy websites
- Written in complex legal language
- Missing practical examples and templates
- Contradictory between sources
We created SchengenVisaSupport.com to consolidate this information into one accessible resource with:
- ✅ Clear, plain English explanations
- ✅ Real-world examples and samples
- ✅ Country-by-country comparisons
- ✅ Practical tips from actual applicants
- ✅ Updated information for 2026
Our Commitment to Accuracy
We take information accuracy seriously:
- ✅ Regular Updates: All guides reviewed and updated for 2026 requirements
- ✅ Multiple Sources: Information cross-referenced with official embassy websites, EU regulations, and VFS Global
- ✅ User Feedback: We incorporate real experiences from our community
- ✅ Corrections Welcome: If you spot outdated information, contact us
What We Don't Do
To set clear expectations:
- ❌ We cannot process visa applications: You must apply directly to embassies/VFS Global
- ❌ We cannot guarantee visa approval: Only embassies make decisions
- ❌ We cannot provide individual legal advice: Consult licensed immigration lawyers for complex cases
- ❌ We cannot intervene with embassies: We have no authority or special relationship
- ❌ We cannot expedite processing: Only embassies control timelines

For Ireland Residents
We have special focus on Ireland to Schengen visas because:
- Ireland is NOT in the Schengen Area (despite EU membership)
- Irish residents need visas for continental Europe travel
- Specific requirements for Irish bank statements, employment letters
- VFS Global Dublin processes many Schengen applications
- Confusion about whether Irish residence permits help
Our Ireland to Schengen section addresses these unique needs.
