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. My husband used the same service a month later, also approved. It's rare to find a form-filling tool that doesn't feel clunky. Support answered a quick question about bank statement translations in minutes. I'll definitely come back the next time I apply.
