Man shares photo of huge paperwork needed for Schengen visa
Now a user on Twitter named Saptarshi Prakash shared a photo of his required paperwork for a Schengen visa. The man, whose Twitter bio says he is the Director of Design for food aggregator Swiggy, wrote: “Applying for a tourist visa to one of the most developed countries of the world. This is the amount of paper I m supposed to carry to prove that I have the money to stay there and come back.”
People thought it looked like a manuscript
People on the internet were shocked to see the heavy paperwork of the visa. Many said, that it looked like someone’s PhD thesis or the manuscript of a book. One user said, “This is just one of the reasons why I prefer to have luxury experiences in India itself. (Too tiresome for the entire visa process, jetlag, immigration lines at airports, etc)”
