Multivisa of which Baltic country is easier to open?
We are going to travel by car around the Baltic States (Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia), we will be in each country for 4-5 days. We want to try to open a multischengen on our own for at least a year. References from work, from the bank. In passports - a dozen single Schengen visas (Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain, Greece, Poland, Germany ...). In the consulate of which of the 3 countries is the most likely to open a long-term visa? Thanks.

You are an experienced member of this site) And you know perfectly well that a visa is applied either to the country of greatest stay, or at the same time - to the country of first entry .. I'm not sure, but I mean that in Kyiv visas to the Baltics are issued by one Consulate, or one Visa Application Center for all Baltic states.

Entry through Lithuania or Latvia. But a couple of times I came across information that the most loyal of the Balts in issuing visas are Estonians. And on the websites of the consulates, it turned out to figure it out in Lithuanian ... I have already begun to think about applying through an agency and not bothering.

Lithuania is now more loyal to our tourists, probably to Ukrainians too. The Lithuanians saw that a lot of tourists is a good thing, besides, the fee for visas is a serious replenishment of the budget of this small country.
Try through Lithuania. If before that there were Schengen visas, the probability of getting a long-term one is very high.

My friends had a mess with the Estonians))) They did not believe that they wanted to watch Estonia, there were 8 or 10 days. The route was prescribed, all the sights, etc. They were directly told that you, like everyone else, are on the ferry and to the Scandinavians, in Estonia for a couple of days. Or drag all fully paid hotels or dosvidos. Then there was no requirement to pay, there were enough bookings. Despite the fact that two people from the company just had annual Estonian Schengen for work before. They were not given cartoons, but they just hoped for them and for loyalty. It was a long time ago, about a year and a half ago.

elenako, from what? Estonians gave me a multivisa for a year last year. If all documents are executed in accordance with the list indicated on the website, there will be no problems with obtaining a visa.
But in this case, I would not count on a multivisa. "Cartoons" are issued either for work or for those who often travel in this direction. If the applicant has not visited the country whose visa he is applying for at least once in the last two years, then he is unlikely to be issued a "multiple entry visa".
Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians issue SINGLE-ENTRY visas to Ukrainians without any problems, provided that travel and accommodation are paid in advance. I can add personal experience to Khatinka's story: the Latvian embassy accepted my documents, but demanded that I come for a passport with confirmation of the full prepayment of the accommodation instead of booking. And then, right in front of me, they called the hotel in Riga - they "checked". To be honest, it was unpleasant, but they gave me a visa. Single.

Although I think that it was still my emotions - our situation was not quite standard, and at that moment we wanted a lot (in their opinion).

"If the applicant has not visited the country whose visa he is applying for at least once in the last two years, then it is unlikely that he will be issued a" multiple entry "."
Agree.
I received a Lithuanian one in November - they gave me a single one, quickly and exactly for the number of days that I declared, but I didn’t ask for a lot - the documents were bad.
petromir, here everything is a little different. And the Baltic consulates accept each at their own place and without intermediaries, and there is no point in ordering Pony Express in Kiev.

Unfortunately not always. My favorite Estonian consulate, in the "high season" (in the summer and before the New Year holidays) accepts docks only through "Pony", which is officially announced on the first page of its website. The exception is students with pensioners, and relatives of citizens of the Republic of Estonia:(
Our "Pony" had two "jambs":
1) An incomplete package of documents is submitted, some of which may simply be removed from your folder, considered "unnecessary" (for example, "travel plan");
2) Passport with a visa is not delivered to the customer! You have to pick it up yourself from the Pony office, although this service is stated on the website.

Great trip! We were not disappointed, but had a great time - light frost, light snow, beautiful architecture, cozy restaurants, friendly people. The flight is as short as I have ever had. Everything was great, but such a trip is good exactly as we did - for 2-3 days, there is nothing to do longer in Vilnius itself.

Who needs it, I can recommend a good guesthouse, inexpensive and right "around the corner" from the city center.
