Kunjungi Kedutaan/Konsulat

Selanjutnya, pada hari yang telah ditetapkan, datanglah ke Kedutaan Besar atau Konsulat negara tujuan Schengen yang bersangkutan. Untuk negara-negara seperti Belanda, Belgia, dan Luksemburg, pengajuan visa dapat dilakukan melalui pusat pelayanan visa seperti VFS Global yang memiliki kantor di berbagai lokasi, termasuk Jakarta, Bali, dan Surabaya. Pastikan Anda membawa semua dokumen persyaratan yang diperlukan untuk Visa Schengen, seperti paspor, formulir aplikasi, foto, asuransi perjalanan, bukti keuangan, dan rencana perjalanan, agar proses pengajuan dapat berjalan dengan lancar.

Sebagai bagian dari proses pembuatan visa, Anda akan menjalani wawancara dengan petugas konsuler visa yang biasanya berlangsung selama 10-15 menit. Selama wawancara ini, Anda harus menyerahkan semua dokumen yang diperlukan dan memberikan jawaban yang jelas dan jujur terhadap pertanyaan yang diajukan oleh petugas. Tujuan dari wawancara ini adalah untuk memastikan bahwa informasi yang Anda berikan benar dan untuk mengklarifikasi tujuan perjalanan Anda ke negara-negara Schengen.

Setelah wawancara, Anda harus melakukan pembayaran biaya pembuatan visa. Untuk dewasa, biaya ini sebesar 60 Euro atau sekitar Rp954.000. Sementara itu, untuk anak-anak berusia 6-12 tahun, biaya yang dikenakan adalah 35 Euro atau sekitar Rp556.500 per orang. Anak-anak di bawah usia 6 tahun tidak dikenakan biaya visa. Pastikan untuk membawa uang tunai sebagai cadangan, karena tidak semua tempat menerima pembayaran non-tunai, dan Anda mungkin perlu melakukan pembayaran secara langsung.

Setelah semua tahapan proses pengajuan visa selesai, langkah terakhir adalah menunggu respons atau jawaban dari kedutaan atau konsulat negara Schengen yang bersangkutan. Biasanya, proses ini memerlukan waktu hingga 15 hari kerja. Selama menunggu, penting untuk tetap bersabar dan berdoa agar pengajuan visa Schengen Anda diterima tanpa hambatan. Anda juga dapat memantau status pengajuan visa Anda melalui situs web atau layanan yang disediakan oleh kedutaan atau pusat pelayanan visa.

Does a Multiple Entry Visa Cost More Than a Single-Entry Visa?
