## Documents required
- Passport valid at least 3 months beyond intended departure, with 2 blank pages
- Completed and signed application form
- Two passport photographs, 35 × 45 mm, white background, taken within 3 months
- Return or onward flight reservation (booking, not necessarily a paid ticket)
- Proof of accommodation for the whole stay
- Travel medical insurance with minimum €30,000 cover, valid in all Schengen states, including repatriation
- Recent bank statements showing sufficient means (commonly guided at €50–100 per day)
- Cover letter explaining the purpose and itinerary of the trip
- Biometrics (fingerprints) — reusable for 5 years if previously given for a Schengen visa

## Can this stay be extended from inside the country?
- Possible inside: **limited**
- Must leave the country: **yes**
- Cost: €30

Only up to the 90-days-in-180 ceiling. Going beyond it requires force majeure, and the resulting sticker is usually valid only in the country that issued it.

**Cost detail.** Free where the grounds are force majeure or humanitarian. The €30 applies to serious personal reasons, or to an entry delayed through no fault of your own.

**How.** Apply to the immigration authority of the Schengen state you are currently in — not the consulate that issued the visa — before your visa expires. An expired visa cannot be extended.

**If you cannot extend.** If you know in advance you need longer than 90 days, the route is a national long-stay (Type D) visa, applied for from outside the Schengen Area before you travel.
