Required documents

All the documents have to be presented in the original form. Should you wish to keep the original form, you may present a photocopy which doesn't have to be verified - but in that case you have to show the original document to the visa officer.

Bear in mind that Kosovo citizens (holders of Kosovo pasport) are to apply for Schengen visa only at the Embassy of Sweden in Skopje.

Also, the Council of the European Union adopted a decision on the full suspension of the EU-Russia Visa Facilitation Agreement. Consequently, the general provisions of the Visa Code will apply to Russian citizens. The most obvious consequence of the suspension is that, as of September 12th 2022, all Russian citizens have to pay the full visa fee and attach all the required documents as the other third-country nationals. 

You must have:

• A completed and signed application forms no. 119031, Application for Schengen Visa

         - be valid for at least three months after your departure from the Schengen area

         - contain at least two empty pages

         - be copied and the copy (of the identity page) attached to the application; if you need to keep your passport while the application is being handled, you need to make copies of all the stamped and visa pages of your passport that you should both email in advance and attach to your visa application.
