How to Effectively Extend the Validity of Your Schengen Visa
1️⃣ BRP & Passport Validity
Your BRP should be valid for at least 3 months, and your passport should be valid for at least 6 months. Typically, the visa’s validity will not exceed one month before the BRP expires.
2️⃣ Bank Statements
Schengen visas heavily rely on bank statements. It is recommended to use a UK local card 💳 with at least 3 months of bank transactions. If less than 3 months, provide a bank account opening proof. A balance of £1,500 or more is advised, the higher the better.
🌟 It is recommended to concentrate your daily spending on one card before submitting the visa application! For those with limited transactions, transfers are fine, but avoid large transfers. Also, increase everyday spending to make your bank statement look more robust!
3️⃣ Choosing the Application Country
Generally, French, Spanish, and German visas tend to offer longer durations (3-6 months). Nordic countries usually grant shorter periods (about 1 month). If you are not traveling exclusively to Nordic countries, you can apply for a visa with a longer validity period.
