Applying for a Schengen visa after overstaying in the UK
I previously overstayed my UK visa for two years. But I left voluntarily, no stamp on it, no ban and no deportation. It was 4 years ago. Last year I applied for a UK visitor visa. It was rejected and I did not appeal. Now I need to visit the Netherlands for a business visit. Will my Schengen visa application get rejected? Please advise.
