✈️ Questions related to the purpose of the trip and its exact schedule

One of the first and most frequent questions that the visa officer asks you is your motivation and main purpose of the trip. You must clearly explain whether you are going to Europe for sightseeing, visiting relatives, attending a business conference or medical treatment. Your answer must exactly match the hotel and flight reservation documents.
According to the official rules published by European Commission – Schengen Visa Policy, transparency of the purpose of travel is one of the main criteria for accepting or rejecting a visa application. Any inconsistency between the provided itinerary and your statements can be suspicious.
Remember that travel details are very important. If you have used the services of Dayan Tak, your travel plan (Itinerary) has been set up in a completely professional way, from which you can easily answer the officer’s questions.

💼 Proof of financial and job dependencies in the country of origin
Do you have a strong reason to return to your country?
The biggest concern of the Schengen visa officers is to make sure that you will return to your country after the visa expires. For this reason, many questions are asked about your job, income, financial status and assets in Iran. Having a stable job or registered business is the best guarantee for this sector.
You should be able to easily justify your bank account turnover. The amounts in the account should be proportional to the income level of your job. Our experts at Dayan Tek carefully check your financial capacity and bank statements before the interview day so that there is no ambiguity for the embassy officer.

🏨 Checking the details of hotel and accommodation reservations in Europe
Where will you stay and how will it be paid for?
The embassy officer may ask you to name the hotels where you have reservations or to tell the exact address of your accommodation. If you have an invitation, you must remember the complete information of the inviter, including the address, contact number and your relationship with him, and respond without pause.
According to the global reference data Schengen Visa Info (Schengen Visa Info), one of the common reasons for visa rejection is the mismatch of formal hotel reservations with the traveler’s actual plan. So never use invalid reservations.

💰 Financial resources and daily expenses of Schengen travel
How do you pay for your trip?

The embassy officer wants to know if your finances are sufficient for the days of your stay or not. In this section, you should mention the balance of your account and international credit cards.
If someone else (such as your spouse, parents, or related company) has covered your travel expenses, you must bring supporting documents and an official letter of commitment and declare it clearly in the interview. The sum of these measures is adjusted by experts Dayan Tek in the form of a standard financial package.

🎫 Previous travel records and travel history

In this section, you should remember the entry and exit stamps of your previous passports.
