My cousin warned me the Schengen application was a nightmare, and she wasn't wrong. I realised from their guidance that I needed an updated insurance policy with the right coverage. I submitted on a Tuesday and had my passport back the following Monday. The calm tone of the explanations made the whole thing less stressful. I liked that I didn't have to create ten accounts across random sites to get this done. Saved me a ton of stress and a probable rejection.
