How to Fill up Schengen Visa

One of the comments I received was a question on how to fill up Schengen Visa. Since there are several purposes for applying Schengen Visa, this particular post is specifically for TOURISM as based on my own application.

Some advice: I was told that it’s important to use black ballpen and to write it in print capital/block letters – NOT CURSIVE.

By the way, I downloaded my schengen visa application form here:  Click This!
