Rohan's Germany Schengen visa story.
"I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. Getting the travel history section correct used to take me ages — it was quick here. My appointment lasted 15 minutes. No fuss. It's not flashy…"

I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. Getting the travel history section correct used to take me ages — it was quick here. My appointment lasted 15 minutes. No fuss. It's not flashy — it just works, which is exactly what I wanted. My appointment was at the VFS centre and they accepted everything without comment. I actually felt confident walking into the consulate — that's a first. Can't recommend it enough. The only small thing — I'd love a dark mode.
