You must apply for your Schengen Visa at the consulate of the first country you plan to visit if your intended length of stay in each country is the same.

What are the required documents when applying for a Schengen Visa?
To apply for a Schengen visa you need to provide the following documents:
- A Visa Application Form that has been filled out and signed
- Your passport. You need at least three months after the day you leave the Schengen Area for it to expire.
- When you sign up for AXA Schengen insurance online, you’ll receive your certificate of insurance for medical expenses and travel promptly through email. You can simply print the certificate and submit it with your application.
- Something that specifies when and where you’ll be: Local authorities want evidence of your mode of transportation in order to ascertain your whereabouts and how you plan to get around (plane, train, or bus tickets, invoices for rental cars)
- Proof of sufficient funds to cover living expenses in the host nation for the duration of the visit. Consulates and embassies can notify you of the specific requirements for entering the Schengen Area nation you plan to visit.
- Accommodation documentation: along with your application, please include details on where you intend to stay during your stay in the country. This could be a receipt from a hotel, an email invitation to stay with a friend or relative, etc.
The consulate where you make your application may request further supporting materials.
Instructions on what to bring in order to apply for a Schengen visa.
I need to apply for a Schengen visa but I don’t know where to do it?
It is possible to apply for a visa online for some countries; these services are usually outsourced to third-party companies. You should plan on attending the visa interview in person. You can attend one of these interviews at the consulate, embassy, or visa application centre that is most convenient for you, along with copies of your application and supporting documents.
The average time to obtain a Schengen visa is how long?
Processing times for Schengen visas are around two weeks worldwide. However, there are situations in which the processing time is extended. This could take 30 calendar days, or in rare situations 60 calendar days, depending on the complexity of your application. It’s possible that the reason for the holdup has nothing to do with your submission. In the months of July and August, when many offices are closed for vacation, processing times tend to increase.
You may be able to monitor the status of your application through a dedicated website or by getting in touch with the relevant embassy or consulate.
Is it possible to obtain a Schengen visa if you are unemployed?
Yes. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to maintain yourself throughout your journey if you are now unemployed.
Will Brexit affect my need for a Schengen visa to enter the United Kingdom?
While the United Kingdom has always been outside of the Schengen Area, it is currently no longer a part of the European Union as a whole. To enter the United Kingdom, you must first obtain a visa from the British embassy, consulate, or visa application service in your home country.
