Schengen Visa for Self-Employed & Business Owners
A running business is one of the strongest Schengen profiles — excellent proof of both funds and ties. Yet self-employed applicants are often refused because the file was not presented the way officers expect.
What this means for your application
As a self-employed applicant or business owner you are funding your own trip, so the consulate looks closely at your business income, its stability, and whether it gives you a strong reason to return. Presented correctly, your business works powerfully in your favour.
Documents you provide
- Business registration, GST or Udyam Aadhaar certificate
- Current (business) account statements — last 6 months
- Business and personal ITR — last 2 years
- Cover letter on your company letterhead
- Proof the business continues while you travel
We prepare the rest
- Consulate-style cover letter
- Dummy flight reservations
- Hotel bookings
- Day-wise itinerary
- €30,000 travel insurance
- Form filling & review
Why this profile gets refused — and how we prevent it
Common refusal pitfalls
- No proof the business runs without you — read as weak return intent
- Irregular or unexplained inflows in the current account
- Personal and business funds mixed together
- Missing ITR or registration documents
- A generic cover letter that never mentions the business
How we build a stronger file
- We present your business as strong ties to India
