How to get a Schengen Visa
If you are from Colombia, or many other countries, and you want to travel around all Europe you will need a Schengen Visa. All you have to do to get one is enter in the website of the country you would like to visit at first. For example if you want to go to Spain and after to Italy you will need to make an appointment in the Spanish embassy because this is the first country you will visit. In the website you will see the form that you need to fill out with all your information and the hotel where you are going to stay. When you finish the form in the last page you will see the option to make an appointment, you have to be sure about when you want to have it because the day of the appointment you will need to attend with your passport, ID, the form, bank statements, letter of the college where you are studying, 2 pictures and finally with a good attitude. They will ask you where do you want to travel and sometimes they ask for more information. Some people wonder about why Colombian people need this kind of visa, I’m not sure but I think it may be because of all the problems we used to have. We used to be a country with a lot of narcotraffic and terrorism problems but now it is changing. I think a lot of countries have the same problem but it’s all about the reputation that we created in the past so now they can't let us enter to other country without a research about our family, goods and other information.
