Austria Czech Republic France Germany self-driving tour 18 days of the preface and visa article

Desire to be a long, just'd really don't like with the group, it was France refused once, it has not materialized, and this time they fit with a few friends, learned that Germany personal travel check want larger, and convenient self-driving, median '. To start after the Spring Festival, this process in the preparation of complex, midway through the twists and turns, problems because there is no European free line before experience coupled with carelessness, summarized as follows for the posterity, reference:

1. we have received several months ahead of the actual travel reservation and get the most of the hotel's fax, small rural hotel did not respond, so read up bigger chain hotel, smoothly get the fax. Departure date was set at May 27, mail to German Consulate to check time of surface is April 23, had all the best, and so a week before 23 to buy insurance when I found one passport from our European dates back less than 90 days, only 2 days, because the notes of a consular post online German system perfect, we fill in date of departure and the validity of passport subtracts a date less than 90 days will not be able to build forms for printing, to be on the safe side, we decided to reset about date, this has all the trouble started, knew should guts to go directly to a note saying that the deal was signed up to get a new passport.

II. about date again demands that we must in future be had for about 23, honestly until 23 may later email, only to be told about the most recent date full arrangement only 22 may, the date of departure we set off for less than five working days, very nervous, death is to accept that only changed itinerary, as well as all relevant proof of the date. To be lazy, I changed the stroke may 31, all travel arrangements around, so again in the middle of the hotel would not have changed. Other the cancel request for cancellation, then re-activated fax. Since the discovery of the Regent, NOVOTEL and other large group fax sooner, hotels are selected this, and the Web site to unsubscribe easily, look at a few days prior to departure without paying for it, so toss. our own real itinerary also change all, realignment of the housing complex, due to stroke-busy error, in the back only to find a hotel leaked cancelled, but also the most expensive one, 4 room nights to 790 more Europe, supposed to my credit card for the money, but the credit card for too many hotels and other things, the balance is insufficient, estimated that no deduction, escaped death.

Booking site is: www.booking.com Chinese interface is extremely easy to use

3. the ticket problem: to the consular post of the itinerary is a ticket agent to me, not the actual booking, it is easy to get just by itinerary, but want to carefully, then something wait again. The problem is I'm impatient, first set the ticket, wrong in not first, in order to guarantee the price, of the other undertakings refused all of the circumstances I agree with the first, crucial is that, I would like to add a circle on the Paris shopping, set of two people, two in Paris back to back to Munich, should be the two of US 19, back, their 16th, the result set into agency back to 19, I did find that later found already retrograde, cannot only 4 people to go to Paris, where 2 people back to Munich back to Shanghai, as this causes trouble for them very ashamed. Secondly, since our itinerary form only a 15-day trip, without the addition of two days to go to Paris, the ticket is 17 days round trip, the visa officer only to 17 days, we think that down finished, 6/19-2 to go back to the 18th is the day it is, then all confirm that's right only 17 days rest assured, it is luck, later to Visa's itinerary should only than the real journey is long, not short, this is perfectly safe.

IV. visa issues of the day: finally wait to date, queued into the number called, discover we are 4 people peer, to check with us for 4 people, we are 2 to 9: 30, 2 people is 10, the actual wait time is exceeded, luckily two are round to 3 numbers of female visa Museum, Shanghai, still trumps. because found our tickets and itinerary a bit inconsistent, on the date and the last two days round should I send in Frankfurt is Munich hotel confirmation these two points, let us fill material, I almost didn't powers, how to commit such a low-level errors, sweat, she looked at me saying that the way to European body is, but I have to say that hypoglycemia breakfast? Khan at the ...

The second day rush to fill material, because we too close to the departure date, the consent of our 5/30, get a visa, but didn't check it out at the time the check was not willing to let me know. Nervous wait days to get a foot up, finally checked down, this is ready to go.

V. other issues: we prepare materials summary:

Passport, co-owner, Photo 3, foreign accounts of Shanghai provisional residence permit (this seems to be seen), several people asked us what relationships, married also asked what LG, has no children. unmarried divorce have not asked: company >, including approval and income certificate, and one each in the English language (license returned), which were asked of our four-person company is doing, in fact we have 4 people 2 people as there is no occupation, the proof of the company commissioned friend, payroll is a pseudo shines, but broke into the wage card bank proved hard. itinerary: including list, ticket orders, car orders and all the other single, hotel fax key to confirm each hotel's location and time are and itinerary matches. travel long complex must accurately. I am a person do, sometimes confused, let the second person to check it again better. insurance policy: the German Allianz buy, buy when I go to, then switched to date have only fax ratifying, fairly easy .5 million certificate of deposit, the frozen for three months on the list, very convenient. visa application form, the entire English version-must first fill out the online consular de generate form before printing the second, final page with the bar code will be prepared on the spot-pay the visa fee, you can fold the Renminbi to pay, no matter how Visa results. Like 600 million.
