WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU
When you want to visit that part of Europe that is called the Schengenarea to do business, visit family or have a holiday and you need a visa to enter the country I can be of help.
How do you know if you need a visa? Have a look on the website of the country you plan to spend (most of) your traveldays. It depends on what nationality you have if you need a visa.
When it turns out you do need a visa that website will tell you where and how to apply for it. It is very important to prepare your application the best you can. And I can help you with writing a cover letter and help you prepare. You need to make sure that is is clear why you want to come, where you will be staying and that you will return home before your visa expires. You can do that by showing reservations, invitations and explanations like your work contract, salary slips, bank account, home ownership, family that will not travel with you etc.
But if you already applied for a visa and it got denied I can help you with the appeal process as well.
In case an emergency hearing at court would be necessary in most of the cases I team up with a barrister.
