A lot of people run into trouble when trying to get a Schengen visa. The whole process can feel really complicated. Long waiting times, tricky paperwork, and even rejections make it tough. And sometimes, even when you have the visa, you still face problems.
For example, my friend had a Schengen C visa from Bulgaria. She was excited to fly to Germany for a concert. But when she tried to board her Ryanair flight, they didn’t let her on, saying her visa wasn’t the right one for Germany. Even though her visa was valid, she couldn’t go, and the trip was ruined.
Here are some common issues:
- Waiting forever for appointments and to get the visa.
- Getting rejected without knowing why.
- Having to book hotels and flights before the visa, which can be risky.
