How to apply for a European individual tourist visa
1) Suitable for people: people with multiple exit records, good foreign language communication skills, social background and economic ability.
In principle, European embassies and consulates will only issue individual tourist visas to social groups that meet the above conditions.
2) Which countries currently accept your personal tourist visa application?
We believe that with the development of China's economy and the improvement of people's living standards, more and more European countries will accept individual tourist visas for China citizens and apply for them at the same time.
The procedures will be more and more simplified, which must be the general trend. At present, European countries that accept individual tourist visas are: Germany, France, Italy, Britain, Ireland, Czech Republic, Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, Spain and so on.
3) Procedures for applying for tourist visas in European countries: Although the application procedures and required materials are different, there are still many similarities. Take France as an example:

Since 2007, the Schengen visa fee has been rising.
At the meeting held in Luxembourg on April 27th, 2006, the Ministers of Interior and Justice of 25 EU countries decided to increase the visa fee for Schengen countries from the current 35 euros for transit and stay within three months to 60 euros (65,438+0 = 65,438+0.24 USD).
According to the new decision, EU member states can handle the entry visa fees of third-country personnel on a case-by-case basis, and the long-term residence visa fees are determined by each country.
Schengen countries are the general names of countries that have signed the Schengen Agreement and opened their borders to each other. At present, it includes all 15 old EU member states except Britain and Ireland, as well as Norway and Iceland. Although the member countries of Central and Eastern Europe 10 and Switzerland, which joined the EU in 2004, have signed the Schengen Agreement, but it has not been formally implemented, so the visa fee for price increase is not applicable for the time being.
In short, starting from 2007, all visa fees for tourist visas, family visas, business visas and official visas in European Schengen countries will increase.
At present, except Austria, the visa fees of other Schengen countries in Shanghai consulates have risen to 60 euros.
