A Schengen Visa is required for Filipinos who want to travel to countries under the Schengen agreement in Europe. The agreement guarantees free movement across their respective countries. This means that "Any person, irrespective of nationality, may cross the internal borders without being subjected to border checks. However, the competent national authorities can carry out police checks also at the internal borders and in border areas, provided that such checks are not equivalent to border checks." 

When planning your European vacation, check whether your destination is included in the following list, and prepare your documents accordingly.

Mandatory Schengen Travel Insurance: In March 2004 the EU Council in Brussels decided to implement as of June 1st, 2004 a mandatory travel insurance as a precondition for visa issuing. In principle this means that a visa applicant has to submit, together with his visa application for a short stay in the Schengen member states, proof of a valid personal or collective travel insurance covering expenses for repatriation for medical reasons, urgent medical care and/or urgent medical treatment in a hospital. The minimum value of the mandatory travel policy is determined at Euro 30,000.-*recent= not older than three months

VISA APPLICATION TIPS:

1. Prepare your documents and arrange them according to their order on the requirements list. (esp. France)
2. Photocopy all original documents prior to your appointment.
3. Don't Panic.
4. Be prepared.
5. Look the part. Don't overdress and don't underdress. It's best to wear simple, classy clothes. 
6. Apply for a Visa at the embassy of your main destination - where you'll stay the longest.
