How to Apply a Schengen Visa for Filipinos residing in Qatar

📷

Traveling is one of my favorite thing to do and everytime we go somewhere I felt the rainbows and butterflies inside of me. But before those rainbows and butterflies, we went to the part that we got tense because of the visa processing and I’m so grateful that we got the approval so quickly and we didn’t manage to go back and forth at the embassy as long as your requirements are all complete.

We applied the Multiple entry visa and it’s allowed to go in and out of the Schengen area as pleased. However, this visa allows to stay in Schengen zone for maximum 90 days but we only got the 30 days multiple entry visa but it doesn’t matter because Chad’s vacation leave is entitled for 15 days only.

Schengen Visa is entitled to enter the different places around europe that consists of 26 European countries (of which 22 are EU states): Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany, Estonia, Greece, Spain, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Hungary, Malta, Netherlands, Austria, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland and Sweden, along with Iceland.
