The Schengen visa process depends on your main destination, travel purpose, and planned length of stay.
Applicants commonly prepare a completed application form, passport, photographs, travel insurance, flight reservation, hotel reservation, itinerary, proof of funds, employment or business documents, and invitation documents where applicable.
You should apply through the country where you will spend the most time. If your stay is equal across countries, apply through the first country you will enter.
A well-arranged file helps the visa officer understand your trip quickly and reduces avoidable confusion.
