What Documents Are Required to Apply for a Schengen Visa From the UK?
When applying for a Schengen visa in the UK, you need to submit the following documents to complete the application process:

You can download it online or require it from the embassy of the Member State you plan to visit. The application form must be completed with true and correct information, and you should not leave any blank answers (unless required). After you fill out the application form, you should print it in two copies and sign both of them at the end.
• Valid Passport. You need a valid travel document issued within the last 10 years with a validity period of another three months beyond the date you intend to leave the Schengen Member State. The passport must also contain two blank pages available for stamping.
• Two Photographs. Submit two identical passport-size photographs of yourself taken within the last 3 months. Your photographs must fulfill all of the Schengen visa photo requirements, such as being in color and of high quality, or the embassy will not accept them.
