My cousin warned me the Schengen application was a nightmare, and she wasn't wrong. Going through the checklist for a France visa specifically (not a generic one) made all the difference. I printed everything double-sided as instructed and had zero issues. It's not flashy โ it just works, which is exactly what I wanted. Far better than the official PDF that crashes half the time. A proper time-saver.
