Free Schengen Visa Document Checklist (PDF Download)
Applying for a Schengen Visa can be stressful . There are so many documents to prepare and if you’re not keen, it’s easy to forget one small thing. I’ve put together a free detailed Schengen visa document checklist you can download and use while preparing your application.
I have applied for over 7 Schengen visas now. What has always worked is always having a very detailed document checklist that I work through during every visa application process.
Why This Schengen Requirements Checklist Helps
This PDF checklist lists the standard requirements for the Type C short stay Schengen visa. It also lists the typical requirements based on your purpose of travel.
It covers standard documents that most Schengen countries need, like proof of funds, travel insurance and hotel or accommodation bookings. It also includes more specific documents like wedding invitation, if you’re travelling for a wedding. Or even hospital invitation if travelling for medical reasons.
Having everything in one place makes it super simple to tick things off as you prepare them.

Visa applications are already stressful enough – so I only hope that this checklist saves you a little energy.
