Schengen visa for housewife
How difficult or complicated it is to get a Schengen tourist visa for a housewife / homemaker? My wife and I (Indian passport holders) are travelling to Germany for 10 days. Wife is unemployed. Is it possible to get visa only on my bank statement? Is it possible that we can present both our bank statements against my wife's application? Any specific points to remember while collecting the documents/writing the cover letter?
Best Answer
The Schengen visa officials try to admit genuine tourists with a low risk of overstay, that means a stable job with steady income higher than the monthly expenditures, so there are savings. The key thing is that your income must be enough to afford the trip for both of you.
But it is entirely normal when only one of member of a married couple is working, and the other one looks after the household. They would see relatively little risk that your wife would overstay and work in Europe while you return home to your job.
