EU Entry/Exit System (EES) rollout
The EU's digital Entry/Exit System is being phased in at Schengen borders through 2026, replacing manual passport stamps with biometric registration for short-stay visitors. It doesn't change how you apply for a visa, but expect a facial photo and fingerprint check on your first crossing.
Strengthen your application.
- Book your AEG appointment 4–6 weeks ahead — France is the most-applied-for Schengen route and slots fill quickly.
- Use the official France-Visas online wizard to confirm your exact document list before the appointment.
- Keep your stated itinerary consistent with your hotel and flight bookings; reviewers cross-check these closely.
Common rejection reasons.
- Incomplete or inconsistent bank statements — high application volume means gaps are refused rather than queried.
- Weak proof of ties to Pakistan (no employment letter, business registration or property documents).
- Travel insurance that doesn't meet the €30,000 medical cover minimum for the whole Schengen area.
Transparent pricing.
Embassy charges are paid directly to the consulate. Visaroo's service fees cover preparation, review and submission.
