Kyiv. Which visa is "more convenient" to get - Italy, France or Spain?
There is an approximate route of the trip and you can make it for any country from the three - Italy, Spain or France. This is a short stay tourist visa.
Whoever has a visa is more convenient, more comfortable to receive.
Where are there fewer problems with enrolling in an EC, translating documents, loyalty to Ukrainians?
Does everyone have a separate window and booking procedure for frequent travelers?
Who has more stringent requirements?
Who can give a cartoon, heard the French?
Who does not require payment for accommodation?
Thank you.

Yes, I am very interested in the experience of applying directly through the consulate. I know the mechanism for the French consulate. Interested in Italy and Spain without a visa center.

The Finns have a good VC - apart from an application and a passport, they don’t need anything else. booking is desirable, but not critical. proof of income is not required. But then you have to enter through them.

travel-alex, I'm from Kyiv. Finns are different. But the main thing is that we are talking about a concrete choice between the three countries.
But thank you for your attention to my question)

I think you have such "Finns" as Slovaks))) or Poles? ooh, by the way! you can also get a Polish visa and go to France on it, though you will have to enter through Poland. as far as I remember, you have a bunch of trains to Krakow and Warsaw ... And you can get from Warsaw to Intercity to Prague very comfortably. Or to Berlin. Or to Paris. Surely something interesting and cheap flies from Warsaw ... Well, this is an option, of course. I am sure that the Poles will give you a visa more willingly and faster than any of the three countries indicated.

travel-alex, you don't understand me)))
I have quite a lot of experience in obtaining visas on my own. I know the requirements and rules. But the consulates are different, the traditions in them too.
And I even chose the word ... "conveniently" chose.
In addition, I travel by auto-trains and buses are not interesting to me.
And we don’t have people like the Finns :-(
The Poles are most similar, but they are sooo far from the Finns! But it's easy to buy a Polish visa, but to get it ... Personally, I'm better off with the Hungarians or the Germans. But not at this time))
My Polish visas were the most hemorrhoids and not pleasant to receive.
They are convenient for us only for those who do not have enough material support for the trip, who will never receive an Italian visa or those who stupidly bought a visa)))
I am not pleased with the Polish consulate and their methods of work, especially since I do not go there at all and do not worry at all whether we will get a visa.
The question is solely in the choice between the three states, and most likely I know the answer, but I want more independent opinions on my side.
Still, there is a big difference in which country and even in which city it is wrong to get a visa and compare Kyiv and St. Petersburg.
Yes, and they will give a Finn to a Petersburger with his eyes closed, but if there is a person from Novosibirsk, then his eyes will be opened)

Don’t flatter yourself about the French multi-visa - they covered this matter for us and firmly. In September, people who already had annual visas and more than once did not receive such a visa.
аватар hatinka
jabetta, it's a pity of course (((
But this factor is definitely not decisive, especially considering that the Italians and Spaniards did not give cartoons before (as far as I know, but I could be wrong).
аватар jabetta
It's a pity, of course. I wrote for information to be kept in mind. Previously, too, the French were not particularly sprayed with cartoons - at first they were given for 3 months, then for half a year, and then, maybe already for a year. But now, people who have been extending their annual allowance for several years have submitted documents, and they were slapped with only 4! day. This despite the fact that they go on business to official events.

Maybe these are temporary trends associated with politics? So it happened...
аватар jabetta
But who knows? I, personally, do not have deeper information, although, of course, on the European "market" Ukraine "fell down" in the light of recent events.

The French have changed consul :-))))
аватар hatinka
Well, they don’t send good ones to us)))))))
?

rhetorical question)

Sorry, I somehow missed the indication "Kyiv" at the beginning of the topic)))
I can say that for Moscow the simplest Spaniards - they immediately give a six-month Schengen to almost everyone, and 90 out of 180, not 30. In any case, several of my friends who just went specifically to Spain for 2 weeks and did not ask for special privileges received the first Schengen immediately semi-annual. As far as I read the forums, the Spaniards at one time beat everyone for six months, then stopped (apparently they compared the issued visas and those who entered - the people went to them by themselves only for a visa). And now it seems to be attracting tourists again.
