Research study collecting Schengen visa application experiences and outcomes from the last five years

Schengen Visas
1

Hello everyone,

I am currently gathering data for an academic research project focused on Schengen visa processing trends and applicant experiences. The goal is to identify systemic bottlenecks and variations in adjudication consistency across different consulates.

I am looking for anonymous user stories from individuals who have applied for a Schengen visa within the last five years. The survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. We are specifically looking for details regarding document submission, interview interactions, and processing timelines.

As a token of appreciation, participants can opt-in to a draw for Amazon vouchers upon completion.

Your input would be invaluable to this study. Thank you.

Has anyone from the CN region actually completed this without a VPN?

Realizing this is likely for social science research, I must point out a variable you might have missed.

I would like to inquire if a rejected administrative review qualifies for this dataset.
