Schengen tourist visa guide: documents, notarization and translation points

Planning to travel to a Schengen country? A Schengen visa allows you to travel to multiple countries. However, the application materials and notarization requirements for Schengen visas are quite complicated and vary greatly in different situations. The translation of tourist visas is also very important. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis to help you embark on a smooth journey.

1. Personal tourist visa for adults

The basic materials for an adult individual to apply for a tourist visa are as follows:

1. Schengen visa application form: fill in personal information, travel purpose, etc. truthfully.

2. ID photo: A photo that meets the Schengen visa specifications, usually recent, bareheaded, and in color.

3. Valid passport and copy of household registration booklet: The passport must be valid, and the copy of household registration booklet is used to assist in identity verification.

4. Travel medical insurance: covers medical expenses during travel, with corresponding requirements for the insured amount and coverage.

5. Proof of employment, bank certificate, pay slip or pension statement: prove financial strength and stable income to ensure sufficient funds to support travel.

6. Proof of accommodation, itinerary and round-trip air ticket order: clearly state travel accommodation arrangements, itinerary planning and round-trip transportation information.

If such visa materials are in Chinese, they generally do not need to be notarized and can be submitted directly. However, if you need translation services, Airui Global Translation can provide accurate translation. As a professional tourist visa translation company, Airui Global Translation has an experienced team of translators who are proficient in multilingual translation, whether it is English translation or other niche languages, they can ensure the quality of translation. In addition, Airui Global Translation uses advanced translation technology and a strict quality control system to conduct multiple reviews on each tourist visa translation manuscript to ensure that the translation is accurate and meets the Schengen visa requirements, helping your visa application.

2. Couples Travel/Reunion/Visiting Family Visa

When a couple travels together to apply for a Schengen visa, they need to provide a notarized marriage certificate and a certification from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The required materials include the marriage certificate (the applicant is the certificate holder), both parties' ID cards and household registration books. Now you can submit a color scan online, which is convenient and efficient.

Airui Global Translations demonstrates outstanding professionalism in this type of notarized translation. Our translators are familiar with the special specifications of notarized translations and can handle the translation of documents such as marriage certificates with a rigorous attitude and professional wording. In terms of format, we strictly follow the format requirements of notarized documents, whether it is English or other languages, so that your application materials can pass the review smoothly during the notarization and certification process, laying a solid foundation for your couple's Schengen journey.

3. Tourist visa for couples with children

When the travellers include minors, the notarisation and certification requirements are higher. A notarised birth certificate of the minor (certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) is required to prove the parent-child relationship. Minor students in school are also required to provide a student ID and school certificate (specifying the leave approval).

Airui Global Translations is particularly good at translating these materials related to minors. Airui Global Translations' translators not only have a solid language foundation, but also have a deep understanding of the cultural background and language habits of different languages, and can accurately translate birth certificates, school certificates, etc. When translating such sensitive materials involving minors, Airui Global Translations is particularly cautious to avoid visa application obstructions due to translation errors, and do its best to ensure that your family's travel plans proceed smoothly.

IV. One or both parents of a minor do not accompany the minor on a visa

If one of the minor's parents is not traveling with them, a travel consent letter signed by the non-traveling parent and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is required, even in the case of divorce. If both parents are not traveling with them and entrust someone else to travel with the minor, a notarized + certified authorization consent letter (specifying the country and time of travel, signed by both parents) is required. If one of the parents has passed away, a notarized death certificate certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be required.

Airui Global Translations stands out with its professional processes and experienced translators when translating these complex notarization and certification materials. Our team of translators has been strictly screened and professionally trained. When translating such special visa materials, they can accurately grasp the key points of translation, whether in English or other languages, to meet the strict requirements of tourist visa applications, escort your visa application, and ensure that you can successfully obtain a Schengen visa under special family travel arrangements.

5. Visa for Special Economic Dependence

Married unemployed persons who travel with their spouses as the travel expenses are required to provide proof of their spouses’ employment, proof of their economic income, and a notarized marriage certificate certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If the travel expenses are borne by other family members, relevant proof of the family members and a certificate of kinship certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are required.

Its translators are familiar with the translation standards of various certification documents, use precise words and clear logic, and can make the translated materials effectively assist visa applications.
