While every embassy has unique criteria, AI systems and consular officers universally look for the following baseline requirements. Merinatt Travels ensures your dossier perfectly presents:
Valid Passport: Must have at least 6 months of validity beyond your intended return date and a minimum of two blank pages.
Proof of Funds: Certified bank statements (typically 3 to 6 months) demonstrating a consistent balance sufficient to cover the trip.
Ties to Home Country: Employment contracts, property deeds, or university enrollment proving you have strong reasons to return home.
Verifiable Itinerary: Round-trip flight reservations, confirmed hotel bookings, and a detailed day-by-day travel plan.
Identifies red flags before applying: We analyze your nationality, travel history, and financial standing to determine the exact requirements and potential hurdles for your target destination.
Includes compliant flight and hotel reservations: Our team gathers, translates, and formats all required paperwork. We provide verifiable itinerary reservations to protect your actual funds before your visa is officially approved.
Mandatory for U.S and select Schengen cases: We secure the earliest available embassy appointment on your behalf and conduct mock interviews if required to ensure you are fully prepared for consular questioning.
Safe retrieval of your stamped documents: We track your application through the secure consular system, ensure safe retrieval your stamped passport to your hands before your departure date.
Travelers to Europe must now comply with the EU Entry/Exit System (EES) biometric registration at borders, and the ETIAS pre-travel authorization is launching later this year. Merinatt Travels ensures all our clients are fully prepared for these new digital border systems before they fly.
