  • Completed Schengen application form A single form for all member states; it must be signed and dated.
  • Two biometric photographs 35×45 mm, light background, taken within the last six months.
  • Medical insurance Article 15 of the Visa Code requires cover of at least 30,000 euros. It must be valid across all member states and for every day of the stay, and cover emergency care, hospital treatment, medical repatriation and death.

  • Proof of accommodation A hotel booking or a formal invitation from your host, covering every night of the trip.

  • Letter from your employer It must state the organisation's name, tax number and contact details, along with your position, salary and length of service, and carry a stamp and signature. Business owners submit a copy of the tax registration, a turnover certificate from the tax office and a register extract instead; students submit a letter from their institution.
  • Proof of marital status Marriage certificate, and birth certificates for children under 18. If a child travels with one parent, the other's notarised consent is required.

  • Sponsor's documents If someone else is funding the trip: the sponsor's letter, proof of income and evidence of the relationship. Required only in that case.
  • Applying in person at the visa centre Fingerprints and documents are submitted at the visa centre in Baku; the centre's fee (26 EUR) is paid on top of the consular fee.

Yes, Norway is in the Schengen zone too. On a Scandinavian route, watch the main destination rule: the application is made to the country where you will spend the most nights.

The standard period is 7 to 15 working days. It can stretch when the flow rises in the summer and winter seasons.

We bring the bank documents into line with the requirements, prepare the document file and plan the Capago appointment. If the route covers several Scandinavian countries, we decide together which country to apply to.
