To apply for a Schengen Visa, fill out the application form and attach the required documents: two passport-style photographs, a passport or other travel document that is less than ten years old and valid for at least three months after your departure from the Schengen area. You’ll also need travel and medical insurance to cover charges up to €30,000.

You should have a flight itinerary and proof of lodging during your stay, as well as proof of your civil status, such as a marriage certificate, and proof of your ability to support yourself during your stay. You should also have a cover letter that details your itinerary and the purpose of your visit.
