Frequently Asked Questions

The processing time varies significantly depending on the visa type, the destination country's embassy, and the volume of applications.
 

• Schengen Visas (Short-Stay): Generally take at least 15 working days, but can extend to 30-45 days during peak seasons. We recommend applying well in advance, ideally 3 months before your intended travel date.
• Long-Stay Visas (Study, Work, Family Reunification): These are more complex and can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months or even longer, depending on the country and specific requirements. We advise starting your application process with us as early as possible to avoid any last-minute stress or delays.

While specific requirements vary by visa type and country, common essential documents typically include:

• A valid passport (with sufficient validity beyond your intended stay).
• Completed visa application form.
• Recent passport-sized photographs.
• Proof of financial means (e.g., bank statements, sponsorship letters).
• Travel health insurance (especially for Schengen visas).
• Proof of accommodation and travel itinerary.
• Purpose of visit documentation (e.g., acceptance letter for students, job contract for workers, invitation letter for visitors).
• Proof of ties to Nepal (to demonstrate intent to return). Prime European Expert will provide you with a precise, tailored checklist and assist in preparing all necessary documentation to meet embassy standards.

Yes, it is possible to apply for a European visa even with limited or no prior travel history. While a strong travel history can sometimes be an advantage, it is not a prerequisite for all visa types. The most crucial factors are demonstrating a genuine purpose for your visit, sufficient financial means, strong ties to your home country (Nepal), and submitting a complete and accurate application with all required documents. Our consultants can help you prepare a strong case, highlighting your eligibility.

In the unfortunate event of a visa rejection, Prime European Expert is here to support you. We will help you understand the specific reasons for the refusal, which are usually provided by the embassy. Based on this, we can advise you on the possibility of an appeal or a reapplication. We will help you address the shortcomings of the previous application, strengthen your case, and guide you through the next steps to maximize your chances of approval on a subsequent attempt. Please note that visa fees are typically non-refundable by the embassies in case of rejection.
