Please note
In some cases you may be asked to provide additional documents. Even with submission of all required documents, there is no guarantee that you will be granted a visa. Posession of a visa is only one of the prerequisites for entry into the European territory of the Schengen states. Even if a visa has been granted it does not mean that you will be entitled to compensation if you fail to comply with the relevant provisions of Article 5.1 of the Schengen Implementing Convention and are refused entry. The prerequisites for entry will be checked again on your entry into the European territory of the Schengen states.
