I'm not great with forms, and the Schengen one was worse than any I've seen. I realised from their guidance that I needed an updated insurance policy with the right coverage. It printed out cleanly โ no weird formatting issues at the consulate. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. Honestly one of the least stressful bureaucratic experiences I've had. One tiny thing โ clearer progress bar between sections would help.
