Several Schengen countries have made changes to the visa application procedure. From now on, all outdated applications will be rejected. Read more about the latest changes to the Schengen visa application forms

Sweden, Hungary, Italy, and Bulgaria have updated their Schengen visa application forms. Tourists should pay attention to these changes, as the use of the old forms will lead to refusal to accept documents in diplomatic institutions. 

The main changes concern the procedure for filling in personal data. It is important to note that these innovations have been introduced at the height of the tourist season, which may cause inconvenience to travelers. Therefore, it is recommended that you carefully read the new requirements to avoid misunderstandings and ensure a successful visa application.

New procedure for filling out Schengen visa application forms

Travelers planning to obtain a Schengen visa must first provide their data. The next step is to indicate whether they are related to EU, EEA or Swiss citizens. Then, the place of work and the purpose of the trip must be indicated. Only after that, the tourist has to report how much money he or she plans to spend on the trip, as well as information about accommodation.

A particularly important change was introduced in Italy. From now on, in the "gender" column, you can choose not only "male" and "female" but also "other". This innovation makes it easier for non-binary people to fill out applications.
