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. The officer at the embassy barely asked any questions, which I took as a good sign. I had friends warn me about common mistakes and none of them showed up here. Honestly felt like having a patient friend walk you through the process. Will be using it again for my next trip.
