Where To Apply Schengen Visa in Bangladesh? Jurisdiction Guide

The best country to apply for a Schengen visa depends on your travel plans and where you intend to spend most of your time. Generally, you should apply for a Schengen visa from your main destination country.

If your trip takes place in multiple countries, you can apply for a visa at the embassy/consulate of the first country or the country you plan to stay most of your time.

Ok, so you decided which country you want to apply to, right?

Now the next question is – where is this country taking your visa application?

Depending on the consulate, the place can be one of the following:

  • Embassy of the destination country
  • A visa center to which the embassy of your destination country has outsourced visa submission
  • The embassy/consulate of another Schengen state to which the embassy of your destination country has outsourced visa submission
