Visa type

Hi. Is there any particular visa type we should be looking at? Schengen-Tourist visa? Sorry if this is a silly question. Rehman 11:13, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Visa requirements

Hello again. I was studying the visa application process, and noted that they need the following information (among others):

  1. On visa application form
    1. Surname and first name of the inviting person(s) in the Member State(s)
    2. Address and e-mail address of inviting person
    3. Name and address of inviting company/organisation
    4. Surname, first name, address, telephone, telefax, and e-mail address of contact person in company/organisation
  2. Supporting documentation in relation to the applicant's social and professional status
  3. Health insurance covering a minimum of €30,000

Can someone help me with the above, please? I'm scratching my head for (3) and (4). Rehman 11:14, 1 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi Yiyi. Thank you so much. Also, are you able to clarify the last point (health insurance)? Should I worry about this? Rehman 12:50, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Sorry, but I don't know. You may ask to WMF. --Yiyi 12:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
Hi Ellie. Will this effect participants applying for visa? Rehman 13:24, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Anyone who has travel arranged and paid for by the Foundation will be issued an insurance card. This is to be used in case of medical emergency and hospitlization. --EYoung (WMF) (talk) 20:53, 10 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
