Title: How recent is recent? Post by: thailen on August 28, 2013, 07:56:05 am My filipina girl friend has a September 4th appointment in Manila at the Czech Embassy. She is a student and has a letter to that effect from her school dated July 30,2013.
Is that recent enough to satisfy that question on the Schengen application? Title: Re: How recent is recent? Post by: steven on August 28, 2013, 02:46:33 pm There is no law that would define the term "recent". It depends on the officer in charge. Does the letter also say that she still will be a student also after the summer break?
Title: Re: How recent is recent? Post by: thailen on August 29, 2013, 03:15:53 pm No, but it says she is currently a student. Is it the student's responsibility to explain or prove she continues to study there or is it the school's responsibility to state that she will be a student until_____? In Thailand, educational visas are normally good for 15 months...

Title: Re: How recent is recent? Post by: thailen on September 16, 2013, 02:43:57 pm Funny, they accepted the date(one month old), but asked two questions: 1.How long did the host know her or me(her sponsor) 2. How much money did I have in my bank account(even though copies of HER account showed enough money to finance the trip!)? We E-mailed the answers and supplied the copies of my current bank account statements. in two days. She got the visa.
