When applying for a Schengen tourist visa, applicants need to provide several documents, including a completed visa application form, a valid passport (with at least three months of validity beyond the planned departure date), passport-sized photographs, and proof of travel insurance with coverage of at least €30,000 for medical emergencies. Additional documents like flight bookings, accommodation reservations, and proof of financial means (such as bank statements or salary slips) are also required. If applicable, an invitation letter from a host in the Schengen country or a travel itinerary outlining the details of the stay must be submitted. The consulate may also request documents like proof of employment, educational enrollment, or family ties to ensure that the applicant will return to their home country after the visit.
