Calculator Schengen and 4 required applications when applying for a visa

Summer is in full swing, and if you plan to relax in one of the Schengen countries, you can not do without a visa. With the advent of mobile applications greatly simplify the process of obtaining a visa.

In the majority of visa centers documents are now submitted electronically. This significantly reduces the number of failures due to errors in completing the questionnaires. Add to that the five applications we recommend today, and the process of obtaining a visa will be something even mundane.

VisaToHome

VisaToHome services very expensive. But such is the fee for comfort, you do not need to do everything myself. Transmission of documents via an application encrypted, the company-developer is a member of the Russian Union of Travel Industry. To obtain a visa need to take a picture of your documents, make selfie, pay for services and send data VisaToHome. Then you will arrive courier for original documents, and five days later you will bring your passport with a visa.

It looks simple, and in fact it is. Interestingly, the VisaToHome is virtually the only such application. In the App Store I was able to find several applications for visas, but they are not credible at least because some of them have not been updated since 2012.

Calculator Schengen

If you are given a one-year visa, then you become the actual count of the number of days of stay in the Schengen countries. Anyone who has read the text from the days of counting rules, knows how it disastrously unfriendly text, as if created for a computer program. So, apparently, it is. To solve this problem you can use the "Schengen 90." Enough to enter all of their travel over the last 180 days, and the calculator will show the number of remaining days to visit a particular country.

Currency Converter

If you do not have an invitation from a citizen of the country of the Schengen agreement, you will need to prove their ability to pay, provide a certificate from the bank. With the help of the currency converter, you can easily calculate how much money should be put in the bank. Traveling currency converter will convert the local currency into rubles. The best app in this niche is definitely a "Currency +."

Insurance

Many people seeking to save money by buying the cheapest insurance that is sufficient to obtain a visa. And then forget about it. Well, if nothing had happened. Otherwise, you will be a very unpleasant surprise. Standard insurance covers the bare minimum of services. So if you, for example, riding a bicycle and fell, hit in the water park, a dance, a sauna, and so on - all this is not an insurance event. As they say in the insurance companies, by and large, the standard insurance - it is the case of removal of the corpse. So be sure to buy the additional risk of an accident and an extended package of 50 000 euros.

Of applications for the purchase of insurance can recommend SafeTrip and IngoTravel. The first of them released "of the Renaissance. Insurance ", the second -" Ingosstrakh ". Both applications allow you to purchase a policy online, pay, print and present to the embassy.

A photo

photo standards for visa know at any photo shop. They can also be found on the website of the visa center, then make a selfie and process it in the photo editor. Well, if you have a color printer at home. And in the photo studios have long understood the story of the selfie on request "only print" photo call cost of a full service. These are the laws of the market. We can not recommend any one specialized application for photo on the visa, as during the test the end result was bad. Solution - selfie on a white background (sheet, wall) and Photoshop. Or the use of conventional photo-based applications, for example, "Kamera360", which is a function of "Photos of the documents."

conclusions

VisaToHome application solves all the issues with obtaining a visa, but expensive. Independent visa is cheaper, but it takes at least twice to take time off from work - to submit documents and to receive.

Standard insurance when applying for a visa does not cover accidents. Be sure to buy an additional risk.

Photo shops and a shop will not print your selfie "at half price."

If you are late to the fee, and you do not have time for the selection of applications, download recommended "MakRadarom" saving compilation of four applications. And already then at rest prepare yourself traveling.

Have a nice rest!
