Visa application procedure for frequent travelers
Who has already used such a service? If I have two Schengen in the last 24 months, can I get a visa without any problems? Should the documents be the same as for normal receipt? Thanks in advance!

Yes, even if you had not two, but eight Schengen, documents are submitted in the usual manner. There are no privileges for "frequently expensive", which probably means "frequently traveling", no.

sigur62, there are privileges, but not at all what Deathisnear is counting on.
Firstly, now the acceptance of questionnaires for frequent travelers has been transferred to the visa center.
And if it used to be so, everyone has an appointment at the consulate, often a month and a half before the planned departure, and "frequent" without a queue in a separate window almost at any time. So now you need to sign up at the VC. Perhaps you will get there earlier, but it is no longer interesting.
The privilege for today, it seems, is one - it is possible without a personal presence, transferring documents through a third party, filling out a power of attorney in the form of a consulate (not notarized).
The package is exactly the same!

I agree, hatinka. The man hoped to "get a visa without any problems" (c).
No problem and will receive if everything is fine with the documents. And the frequency of trips does not matter. Surprisingly, those who often visit, for example, in Finland, sooner or later have problems in the form of pictures from cameras, which are like dirt there, either improper parking, or speed violations ... We relax, we think that we can do everything))) )

Thank you very much for answering. I know that those who travel often can come to the consulate any day with all the documents without an appointment. It is clear that the documents should be the same, but you just don’t have to go to Kyiv, but you can hand over the documents and not personally attend the interview. That's what the privilege is. Plus, such a visa is issued within a few days. So I'm thinking, to use such a service or to do everything along the "trodden" road.

A German visa (short-term) is usually issued the next day after application. Everyone.

Privileges for "often rise in price" is. Firstly, if you have two Schengens, you can not come to the consulate in person, but entrust it to a trusted person. Which, in my opinion, is already a privilege. Secondly, with several (more than two) correctly used German Schengen, you can safely ask not "from entry to exit", but "six months - a year" - they will give it. (Naturally, no one cancels the complete set of documents. The more complete, the better.) And then "two years". Most importantly, and tested on personal experience.

Tell me, if I'm going to open a tourist visa, in addition to all the basic documents, should I provide them with a copy of round-trip tickets and hotel reservations?
And if I go on a guest trip, then only I need to show the tickets themselves at the consulate ?! Thanks in advance.
This is the first time I will get a visa on my own, so a lot of things are still unclear to me...

That Mark99: Did you personally get a tourist(!) visa in Kyiv with 2 Polish (Hungarian, Spanish-not German) Schengen visas?
If yes, then I'd like to know the details.
Asking for a visa for periods longer than the duration of the trip is not forbidden to anyone, and many consulates sometimes give long cartoons, seemingly without reason. For example, I know when the Estonians gave a cartoon for a year in a clean passport, but they were not asked (Kyiv). There were many similar stories with my friends. Not to mention the forum stories of St. Petersburg residents about the Finnish visa, which everyone in the region has.
But with the Germans, in Kyiv, but a cartoon for a tourist. It would be cool! But I can't believe it ;-(

Deathisnear, above I gave a link to the website of the German Consulate, where all the information about the necessary documents is presented in great detail. The Germans have everything very clear and on the shelves, unlike many other "Schengen".
For a tourist visa, a hotel payment is required - formally, they ask for confirmation of payment (in the form of a letter, often an original letter from the hotel with passport data about guests, arrival dates, payment amount, etc.)
or a voucher (this is more for maintenance, this is a reservation, but as a rule, vouchers are not issued to individuals).
But in practice, they take regular reservations. Some with reservations are sent to pay. Lottery.
But tickets are not required - copies of bookings are enough. Many consulates even post messages on their websites so that they do not buy tickets before obtaining a visa. Naturally, if you bought, then present their copies.
I had little contact with guests. By invitations to seminars, youth events from public organizations, as a rule, all expenses are taken by the inviting party, but at the same time, the entire package of documents is submitted, including certificates from work, study, bank statements ...

For a long time I had semi-annual French tourist cards. And every time I suffered with them, especially with a child. Now we need the German ones. After two "from entry to exit" I was given a "year", and an 8-year-old child. After - "two". I never went to the consulate myself.
That is, I personally first received a German tourist (!) visa with 2 non-German Schengen visas, and then a German tourist cartoon for the whole family. True, the consulate is not in Kyiv, but in Novosibirsk. But I don't think it makes much of a difference. Germans and Germans in Africa.
Long visas are almost always given by the French, Spaniards, they agreed not to talk about the St. Petersburg Finns. But the German cartoon is a rarity. Even the Bundespogranichnik does not ask questions. But it's not difficult to make it. Again, under the condition "often rise in price".
