Al solicitar el visado Schengen, debe enviar una carta de presentación de la solicitud en la que explique el motivo de su viaje, la lista de documentos que adjunta, su itinerario de viaje, qué preparativos ha hecho para el mismo, y cómo costeará el viaje. Es mejor explicar el plan diario (itinerario), lo que sirve al funcionario consular para formarse una idea clara de qué hará exactamente mientras esté en la zona Schengen y cuáles son sus intenciones verdaderas.
La siguiente carta de presentación de la solicitud de visa Schengen podría servirle de modelo para ayudarle a escribir la suya. Por supuesto tendrá que cambiar muchas cosas para reflejar su situación concreta.
