Tourist Schengen Visa Sponsorship Queries?

Upvote:1

There are two separate questions as part of the visa application:

  • Who pays for the trip and why? It should be a person who is giving you the money as a gift, with no hope or expectation of repayment. An older brother giving money to a younger sibling is reasonable, if the older brother can afford it. €2000 per month sounds as if he can afford it. So there must be clear documentation what your brother earns and what he normally spends on taxes, housing, food, and other cost of living.
  • Are your conditions in your homeland stable? A well-paid job is best but it is not necessary. You should document your finances, with income and expenditures, even if those finances are not used to pay for the trip.

And a separate word of advice, don't do nine countries in two weeks. You will spend a lot of time and money on flights or trains, and little time on sightseeing. A reasonable itinerary also helps to make your trip seem credible.

Decide what you want to see most. Paris and the Louvre? Austria and the Alps? Rome and the Colloseum? Plan on at least one full day in that place, better two or three. You won't enjoy the sights if you're already hurrying to the airport. Then consider what you can see nearby. If you visit Rome, perhaps Venice or Florence. If you visit Paris, perhaps the Loire.

Then, if you want to see different parts of Europe, plan for a day to transfer. A leisurely breakfast, then on to the airport or perhaps to the train station, arriving at a new destination in the evening.
