The following contents meet the visa requirements of the Beijing Embassy:
1. Fill in a visa application form carefully as required, and take two photos nearby, one of which will be posted on the application form and the other will be submitted when applying for a visa.
It should be noted that the visa form has been changed once in April, and the page number is ***4. Students who downloaded it before should download it again.
You need two photos with a white background of two inches.
2. Passport (valid for not less than three months after the visa expires)
3. A copy of the first page of the passport (the page with photos); Copy of all visa pages in passport and copy of embassy seal.
4. If the passport has been replaced, the replacement page and a copy of the old passport.
I won't repeat the above three, which is easy to understand.
5. For China applicants, the original household registration book and copies of all household registration information pages must be provided.
My husband and I are both collective accounts, so we need to borrow a copy of the first page of the collective account and affix our official seal. I saw a classmate ask before, because the account page information has not been updated, it still shows unmarried, it doesn't matter. I translated it truthfully when I translated it, and indicated at the back that the account information had not been updated.
6. Confirm the round-trip air ticket order, and confirm the hotel reservation, transportation and schedule during the trip to Schengen countries.
We have a reservation on Emirates Airlines. At that time, the ticket included tax of 5300, and online booking could only be kept for 3 days. Here is a novel about the booking rules of Emirates Airlines.
Booking tickets online is cheaper than going directly to the office. I called some air ticket agents and found that the price of Emirates website is the best and there is more room for flight selection. If you book tickets in the office, you can keep them for about 5 days. If you book tickets on the website, there are two ways to issue tickets. One is the electronic ticket, which is to be paid immediately, that is, the ticket is issued. Go to the office to get it first, you can swipe your card, and the price is the same as that shown online. But you can only make an appointment for three days, such as booking tickets on Wednesday and picking up tickets on Friday. And Emirates doesn't go to work on weekends, which means that if you book a ticket on Friday, you have to pick it up on Friday, because you don't go to work on Sunday. . . . After booking the ticket, Emirates will send you an email showing the latest time to pick up the ticket. There was no ticket when signing, but I asked several students who went to the visa together and found that our ticket price was still relatively cheap, and there was an upward trend in June, so I went to pick up the ticket immediately after signing. Emirates airlines refund fee 1000 yuan. You should bear the loss yourself. .
I also plan to build a transit station in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. The visa fee is 65 dollars. The cheapest way to book a binding hotel is $65,438+029 per night. However, if the visa is unsuccessful, the visa fee will not be refunded, so we didn't make a reservation at that time.
The timetable includes where to live every day, what means of transportation to use, etc. Except for booking air tickets, you don't have to book in advance to jump on the island and take a boat. Just write it down.
Hotel reservation must be made every night, and confirmed by online reservation form or email. I confirmed it by email, not by booking tickets or anything. We accept these online confirmations. When it comes to hotels, the speed at which Greeks reply to emails tests people's patience. There are some things I don't care about. Almost all hotels need the card number of the international credit card and the three digits on the back of the card, and some need to be signed by fax for confirmation. Many people will check out after getting a visa and go to Greece to find it again. I'm in trouble. I have done a lot of homework before and think that the price can be fixed, so I am not going to cancel it again. In santorini, I decided to stay in a cave, but the more popular rooms in the poor tour were fully booked one month in advance. . . . Some of them are over budget. Among them, the price of VIP suite is appropriate, 80 euros, but half of the room rate needs to be paid in advance. So I added another sunk cost. . . But it turns out that China Merchants Bank International Credit Card is still very easy to use, haha
7. Original bank deposit certificate, proof of the applicant's economic status, such as the salary statement or passbook issued by the bank for the last three to six months (bank deposit certificate is not required), and the ownership certificate of real estate and motor vehicle, etc.
Many students are concerned about this. Now Beijing requires a deposit of 50,000 yuan per person. What they value most is the current passbook, usually a salary card. Pay attention to your fixed salary every month, and the balance is preferably above 50,000. However, because my husband and I usually deposit time deposits and buy funds and other wealth management products, the balance of the current account is not much. So I went to the bank (we are ICBC) and issued a certificate of wealth management products, charging 20 yuan. Speaking of periodicity, if you open a letter of credit, you can only display the periodic balance, not the details. If you want to open regular details in ICBC, it must be frozen. The mm of the embassy said that freezing is not necessary, and they generally don't accept freezing, because if freezing is needed, they require freezing for at least three months, and the original should be taken away, so they can't unfreeze it in advance. In the past, someone needed to unfreeze in advance, so they came to the embassy to ask for the return of the frozen funds, but they did not provide this service. . . So it's very troublesome, so they try not to accept the proof of freezing deposits. However, in another case, if only the balance is displayed without details, it is difficult to prove that the deposit is a long-term deposit and not a large sum of money recently. The embassy mm said that if it is not good to deposit a large sum of money in the near future,
A copy of the real estate license shall be provided. Another friend who went for a visa was later asked to supplement a copy of the real estate license.
8. A bilingual quasi-false certificate letter issued by the work unit (the letter must indicate the address of the unit, contact telephone number, fax number, applicant's position, signatory's name and position and affix the official seal of the unit) and a copy of the valid business license or organization code certificate of the enterprise, institution or group and affix a red seal. Retirees provide an original and a copy of their retirement certificates, and students provide a study certificate issued by the school.
It is best to print it on stationery with company logo. Unit address, contact telephone number, fax number, applicant's position, signatory's name and position and affix the official seal of the unit. As for the article "Copy of valid business license or organization code certificate of enterprises and institutions with red seal", I am a small company and it is easy to provide it.
9. Issue a certificate of overseas medical insurance during the stay in Schengen countries, in which the amount of overseas medical compensation insurance is not less than 30,000 euros, with one original and one copy.
The "poor travel insurance" on poor travel is very good We bought one and the embassy accepted it.

Let's describe the interview.
The Greek embassy began issuing visas at 9: 30, and people entered the country on time. We lived in the west and were afraid of traffic jams, so we went early in the morning and arrived at 8: 30. . . . I have to wait until after 9 o'clock. There are only six or seven students with other visas, two with business visas and a couple. I don't think there are many people
Later 10: 30, almost no one was there. I think we should either go to the first place early in the morning or go after 10: 30, because it takes a long time to receive the data, and the second and third places have to wait at least 20 minutes. There are two staff members receiving information. Except for the first person, everyone behind took the number, which was on the windowsill where the information was received.
After receiving the information, I always want the original, and then I don't need the interview. It is best to arrange the information so that the staff can check it. All translations should be attached with another page at the back of the copy, and should not be marked with a pen. Many important information can be translated, such as the business license of the enterprise. The most important thing is that the running water of the bank needs translation. If it's a bank certificate, it's usually in Chinese and English, but it's more troublesome to make a running list. I translated the top information of the running water, sorted it out in Chinese format and posted it on the original text. So that you can clearly see the corresponding English numbers. I don't know how other students did it. .
After receiving the information, someone will call for an interview later One face at a time, not together. I don't know. The translator hasn't come yet. The staff asked me if I needed an interpreter. I refused, so they let me in. The interviewer is a Greek gg in his thirties. I wonder if it's the handsome guy often mentioned in the jar. This gg is still very nice, but it seems that we have to control the time later. I said I should explain why we should submit the certificate of periodic freezing. After a few words, he said there was no need to explain. Let's check the information. He saw our itinerary and there was no problem. The most important issue is actually our work. My husband and I both asked about our responsibilities from beginning to end. Later, I explained them in great detail. I feel that he not only understands on the surface, but also keeps nodding his head to signal me to continue. . . . Later, my husband did the same, mainly asking about work. We thought maybe we wanted to make sure that we were really doing this job. . . Later, I don't know, my husband came out and said, "Have a nice trip to Greece." When we were excited, we went to pay for the plane ticket. . . . .
The whole process is relatively simple. When two people meet together, as long as one of them can communicate in English, if neither of them can speak English, they will question the communication in Greece.
One more thing, gg asked me why I didn't bring my business card, and I said I forgot. . . My husband asked me by the way, because his bag was caught in it. As a result, he said, bring one next time he comes. Then I came out and thought, when will you come over next time? I don't often go shopping on Guanghua Road. . . . . I asked the staff, and she said that since the visa officer said so, you can deliver it tomorrow. . . . Khan, I had to hand in my business card the next day. So if you have a business card, be sure to bring it.
Another point is that the press center of the Greek embassy and the embassy are in different places. The embassy found on Google Maps is actually a news center, which is wrong and right on Baidu. The embassy is on Guanghua Road, and the press center seems to be building soho outside. Please make no mistake. I met a person who came to apply for a visa that day and said that I found it there before. .
