  • Vacation outside Lebanon on a budget

I didn't apply to Germany, I applied to Austria.
Johnaudi wroteGermany has one of the highest rates of rejection in Lebanese visas. (Up to 30%)
Visas for Lebanese nationals or visas applications at the embassy in Lebanon? The distinction is important because Syrians also apply at the embassy in Lebanon, in which case I would expect such high rates of rejection (sadly).
Johnaudi wroteThese 10% are able to withdraw more than 250/week all of the sudden? (Unless they have accounts in an external bank, of which seems odd)
Note that for German visa (probably applies to the Austrian one as well) it is my understanding that you can replace "proof of money" with a letter from a German resident who pledges to support you financially during your stay.

I think that in both cases you are applying to a Shengen visa.

Obviously, I was answering John because he thought I applied to Germany.

Hello, me and my friend just received our visas from VFS for the Netherlands. It was granted for one month but as single entry. Not surprised due to what’s happening with the country.

I just applied for one.

Ever been to the Netherlands?

I took it last year for 6 months
Never applied to the Netherlands but I was there last summer.
I’ve had a 3 months business visa to Germany as well as a one year tourist visa to Germany.
Slightly sad for just one month but oh well. Beggars can’t be pickers :)
