Hi! Ask ko lang sana sa mga na-approve na sa Schengen visa (Germany Embassy), especially if boyfriend ang sponsor.

Paano niyo inorganize yung proof of relationship? Paano ang format?

For example:
Photos together
Call logs
Chat/conversation screenshots

If na-approve kayo under Germany Embassy with a boyfriend as sponsor, I’d really appreciate if you could share how you organized your documents and any tips that helped.
Thank you! 😊

1. How much is your personal funds?
2. What documents did you submit?

I'll be visiting my boyfriend in Germany for 2 weeks this September. He's Dutch but currently living in Germany, and I'll be staying in his apartment at his address in Germany. We also plan to visit the Netherlands during the trip since it's his hometown.

Context:

1. We met once in person in Vietnam

2. He's sponsoring my entire trip to Germany.

3. My first Schengen visa application.

4. I have a full time work here in PH and in my 4 months with 3 years contract bond.

Also, question for immigration: Is it a red flag that he hasn't been to the Philippines yet and hasn't met my family in person?

Hi everyone,

Need advice lang for my first Schengen visa application.

I’ll be visiting my boyfriend in Germany for 2 weeks this September. Dutch siya but currently living in Germany, and doon ako mag-stay sa apartment nya sa address nya sa Germany. We also plan to visit the Netherlands during the trip since hometown niya yun.

Context:

1. 6 months na kaming magkakilala, 3 months officially together.

2. Nagkita na kami in person and traveled together in Vietnam.

3. Siya ang mags-sponsor ng buong trip.

4. May full-time work ako dito sa PH and 4 months pa lang ako sa current job. May 3-year employment bond din ako.

5. First Schengen visa application ko.

Questions:

1. Mas okay ba mag-DIY or agency?
2. Magkano usually difference ng cost?
3. Mas mataas ba approval rate kapag agency.
4. May naka-experience na ba dito na BF/GF sponsor lang tapos na-approve kahit relatively new relationship pa?

Would appreciate any advice or experiences. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

First time applying for a Schengen visa and would like to get some advice.

I’m planning to visit my boyfriend in Germany for 2 weeks this September. He’s Dutch but currently lives in Germany, and I’ll be staying at his apartment. We’ll also be visiting the Netherlands during the trip since it’s his hometown.

Some context:

1. We have known each other for 6 months and have been officially together for 3 months.

2. We already met in person and traveled together in Vietnam.

3. He will sponsor the entire trip.

4. I have a full-time job in the Philippines and am currently 4 months into my role with a 3-year employment bond.

Questions:

1. Is it better to apply DIY or through an agency?

2. How much more does an agency usually cost?

3. Does using an agency improve approval chances?

4. Has anyone here been approved with a boyfriend/girlfriend sponsor, especially in a relatively new relationship?

Would appreciate any insights or experiences. Thanks!

Hi Travelers,

Nag-fill out na po ako ng eTravel Departure para sa flight ko sa June 13. Ask ko lang po kung kailangan ko na rin bang mag-fill out ng eTravel Arrival ngayon, kahit June 20 pa po ang balik ko.

Tanong ko rin po kung hinihingi ng Immigration Officer ang QR code para sa parehong departure at arrival, o departure QR code lang po ang kailangang ipakita sa pag-alis.

TYIA! ✨
